College Technology Committee: Technology Refresh
Computer Refresh for Employees
The practice of Saddleback College is to provide every permanent position a computer to perform their job. These computers are refreshed every four years using the basic aid funds.
When a faculty member is hired or when their computer is up for a refresh, they will be given a choice of the standard windows desktop computer or the standard windows laptop. Standard Macintosh equipment is available if the Dean and VP of instruction approve.
When a manager or classified employee is hired, or their computer is ready to be refreshed, they will be provided a standard windows desktop with two monitors. Any exceptions will be provided with the Manager and VP approval.
Any technology equipment, such as printers, peripherals, scanners, and/or headphones are purchased by the department.
