Form: Classroom and Lab Software Requests

This form must always be used to request software installations on any classroom or lab pc used for Business School classes - including remote sites.  Classroom software images are very complex and take a long time to create and test; consequently, they are usually only updated in preparation for a new semester.  Request deadlines:

• May 20 for Fall semester updates
  

Exceptions can sometimes be made outside of these dates, and will be considered anytime this form is submitted, however, we cannot guarantee fulfillment of requests made after the deadline.

Form: New Faculty Computer Requests

This form allows new incoming faculty to choose between 4 different standard desktops/laptops as their primary work computer.  Upgrades can be made to the standard desktops/laptops when using this form.

Orders for Fall will be placed on the first business day after July 1st. Please submit this form at least 3 business days before that date. The default system purchase is a desktop and LCD panel. Any new faculty who has not submitted the form by the deadline will receive the standard desktop system. Once it is purchased, changes cannot be made.

Form: Turning Point Clicker Requests

Smith IT can provide any interested Business School Faculty with a Turning Point response pad (or "clicker") and a receiver for developing interactive presentations. Faculty may also borrow response pads for the semester for their students on a first come-first served basis. Be sure to request a set as soon as you know you will use them. Our current equipment pool is large enough for 7 classes of 60 students. You will be notified by return mail if enough are available for your class.

If there are no more loaner clickers available, students can purchase a Turning Point Response Pad from the bookstore for $40 or online from Turning Point (link from UMD Clicker Site). One response pad may be used in all the classes using Turning Point technology, anywhere across campus. It may be sold back to the bookstore at the end of the semester. To check which model/part number is currently in use, please see the campus "clicker" website's purchasing information.
