The COVID 19 Remote Fund is still available to purchase IT needs to aid faculty with their remote courses for the fall semester.  Please read the following email from JoAnn Porter for a reminder of the process.  If you need to submit a request, send your information to Jacki and she will forward it to the dean. 

Dear CLAS Dept Chairs and Administrative Staff: 

The college has some funding available for CLAS instructional or advising IT needs (e.g., mics, headsets, scanners, cameras, computers, etc.) associated with moving to remote instruction and advising.  Please submit any requests to Dean Jansma (including a cc to JoAnn Porter) with a justification indicating how it is necessary for student instruction or student advising.  Please include dollar amount and quote for items that are required.  Once the dean provides approval, your PA will be provided with a speedtype for the purchase to enable the order to be placed.   Personnel should be reminded that any items purchased are the property of the university and need to be returned to the department upon request.   

The college has a limited number of laptops available for distribution to instructional personnel and students.  Priority will be given to instructional personnel first and then students.   

Please submit your laptop requests for a laptop to: CLASIT@ucdenver.edu 

Laptop requests need to include the first name, last name, home department, and if the person requesting the laptop is faculty or a student.  

For administrative purchases associated with moving to working offsite, departments should expect to cover these expenses using department resources.  If you believe this will create a significant financial hardship to your department, please submit a request to Dean Jansma with a cc to JoAnn Porter.  Please know the college currently does not have any funding available for administrative support associated with these situations.  So, we may be unable to help.  Therefore, please be creative and find other options that will not require additional expenses.  The campus will also allow office equipment, including desktop computers, to be taken home while administrative personnel are expected to work remotely. 

All purchases and equipment taken from campus to allow for remote work should be tracked carefully by each department.

Also, individuals should be discouraged from purchasing items (especially, computers) with the expectation of getting reimbursed.  Approved university purchase methods are CU Marketplace or a university procurement credit card.  Reimbursements are considered exceptions and people expecting to get reimbursed may not get university approval.
