Intra-College Technology Grants

In order to meet the increased specialized software needs of faculty & staff, University Technology Committee (UTC) has created two new grants: Inter-College and Intra-College. The UTC handles requests for the Inter-College grant. Each individual college handles requests and guidelines for the Intra-College grants.

The College of Professional Studies (CPS) has been awarded $1,805 for 2007-8. The CPS Cabinet, along with the College's Information Technology Specialist will review applications to determine awards and funding.

Guidelines

Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Any faculty member or academic staff member with a .50% or more appointment for the academic year is eligible to apply for a grant.
  2. Grants must be used for the purchase of software. Please check for existing site licenses or availability of packages on campus before requesting funding.
  3. Grants may not be used for:

    • Computer peripherals (Peripherals include but are not limited to; printers, scanners, CD writers, hard-drives, additional memory, etc.)

  6. The criteria for selection by the committee will be based on:
    • Course need and impact on teaching
    • Number of students enrolled in courses (A small course enrollment DOES NOT reduce your eligibility. Special consideration will be taken to ensure fairness among courses, both small and big)
    • Multi-Discipline needs (Software used my multiple departments in the College; Note: Software DOES NOT need to be multi-discipline to qualify)
    • Equitable distribution across CPS units.
