Overview
The Administrative Services team works with Franklin units and the Dean's Office to coordinate the college-level allocations for instruction, research, and administration. Requests for funds are considered as budgets permit. The Deans office will solicit a call for proposals when funding is available.
Equipment Allocation Guidelines
The following guidelines apply to departments and other units in Franklin College and pertain to requests for state funds; requests for state funds are submitted and prioritized via the Franklin College Requests and Commitments System. Units should create one entry for each item requested. If items have dependencies, please indicate and group them together. Requests for multiple low-cost items such as cables or DVDs may be combined.

As budgets allow, Franklin OIT plans for a four-year life-cycle lifecycle to provide one reasonably current computer for each full-time faculty and staff member. The college provides a number of standard options for desktop or laptop computers. Requests for high-end or custom configurations may receive a lower priority for funding. Departments Individuals are encouraged to seek department-level funding for custom or high-end configurations.
Department heads may provide more than one computer for a faculty or staff member, but these computers will need to be covered by department operating budgets or other funds and may receive limited support. For faculty with joint appointments, computer requests should be submitted via the home department.

Primary Computer Lifecycle allocations are typically funded between April and June.
During any request period, potential requests are marked as "Under Review." Once final funding amounts are available, requests that have been selected will be marked either as "Allocated" (i.e. the funding was allocated to a departmental account for purchase) or "OIT Commitment" (i.e. the request has been selected, but it will be purchased at the college level as a part of the consolidated order). Requests that cannot be funded for any reason will be marked at "Not Selected" at the end of the request period.
Balances from Allocations and OIT Commitments are picked up for reallocation for other requests.
