Faculty and Staff
Hardware from several vendors is evaluated each
summer. Special prices are negotiated, and
“standard” desktops and laptops are chosen in
preparation for the upcoming school year. New
full-time faculty receive one of these systems upon
their arrival. Newly hired staff
inherit the equipment assigned to their position.
Equipment is updated for full-time
faculty and staff by Smith IT on a 3-4 year
rotation.
"Standard" systems are the only systems that
our Helpdesk can fully support. For more
detail about the support of standard systems, please
click
here.
If you wish to purchase an
additional computer for home or office using University funds you are urged to take advantage of
the bulk purchase price that we arrange and get one
of these systems. Please contact the
Helpdesk
if you wish to purchase one.
NOTE: The Office of Smith IT maintains a
rotating cycle for upgrading the work computer
provided by this office. We do not plan the upgrade
of any computer purchased by individuals or
departments.
Using personal funds for purchase
If anyone affiliated with UMCP will be
using personal funds to purchase a system, and want
the best discounts and information about campus
compatibility please refer to OIT's site,
www.act.umd.edu.
Students
are encouraged
to purchase one from this program. The
discounts are substantial, they come loaded with a
UMCP software image, and the hardware is fully
supported at the OIT central Helpdesk.
NOTE: You cannot use University funds
at this site.
