Technology Guidelines

Distributed by President's Council, January 12, 2000

Computer Hardware and Software Purchases

All computer hardware and software acquisitions must be submitted on a PURCHASE REQUISITION and sent to the Information Services (I.S.) Department. The requisitions will be reviewed for compliance with institutional standards as developed by the Campus Technology Committee. Certain specialty areas that do not use the institutional computer network may be exempt from these procedures.

All PURCHASE REQUISITIONS must include the name and room number of the person to whom the merchandise is to be delivered.

Following a review and approval by the I.S. Department the Business Manager will issue a Kellogg Community College PURCHASE ORDER for the acquisition. Individuals will not be reimbursed for personal acquisitions without the prior approval of the Business Manager.

Upon receipt of the merchandise by Kellogg Community College Physical Plant staff it will be sent to the I.S. Department for assembly and testing. NO HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE WILL BE SENT TO THE REQUISITIONER UNTIL I.S. HAS COMPLETED ALL NECESSARY PROCEDURES.

The I.S. Department will deliver the merchandise to the requisitioner upon completion of the check-in procedures.

Telephone Equipment

All telephone equipment must be compatible with the College PBX system. Any telephone equipment connected to the College telephone system must be approved, in advance, by the I.S. Department.

Software Licensing

All software being utilized on College-owned equipment must be properly licensed.

IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE TO COPY COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE PROGRAMS WITHOUT PROPER AUTHORIZATION.

If you are using College owned equipment, all software must be properly licensed. If you have unlicensed software products on College-owned equipment please remove the software immediately.
