Computer Renewal Program

The Computer Renewal Program keeps faculty and staff up to date with modern computer technology.  The Program insures that all permanent faculty and staff have access to a modern computer (PC or Apple) to support our educational mission.  Learn more by reading our lists of frequently asked questions and example computers. A faculty or staff is eligible to participate every four years, or any time they do not have a University-funded computer that is less than four years old.  To read more, click here.
