The Helpdesk has setup a program that allows faculty/staff to checkout a
laptop for a maximum of two weeks. This program was
developed to give ACU employees who don't have a laptop a way to work while at conferences, doing presentations, or when working in locations that don't traditionally have computers available.
Program Summary
Laptops are available for current faculty/staff to
check out from the Helpdesk for up to two weeks and may only be
renewed once the machine has been returned to our office.
You are required to return the laptop on the due date before we close.
You are also responsible for the safe return of this equipment and are subject to fines for lost, stolen, or damaged items. A FOAP will be required at the time of checkout.
Note: Laptops will not be available for checkout during Passport unless you are using them for Passport.What is on the laptop?
These laptops run the Windows XP operating system and the Microsoft
Office Suite (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). Additionally, several of these machines are
configured for wireless access to the campus network and you have
access to a variety of web browsers for research.
Security
It is important that you never leave the laptop alone while you have it checked out. You are responsible for the safe return of the machine and must keep an eye on it at all times.
Saving Your Work
Always make for sure that you save your work to your email, home folder, or flash drive before you return the machine to the Helpdesk. Once the machine is returned it is erased and your data cannot be recovered. If you are unable to save your work please bring the machine to the Helpdesk for assistance.
