Your desktop computer will be replaced automatically every 36 months. Each time, the machine you receive will have enough power and capacity to last until the next replacement cycle. Every effort will be made to take into consideration departmental projects and concerns such as fiscal year end, but we will not be able to reschedule distribution based on individual needs. You will not be able to pick up your new machine yourself. Boston College has partnered with a vendor for the purchase, software customization, delivery and installation of new and removal of old systems.
Installation includes a great deal of important information gathering, network activation, etc.
Once the contract and schedule is established, any changes will add costs to the University and delay the established departmental delivery schedule. There are no exceptions. Labs and classrooms that are under the control of local departments and schools are not included as Desktop 2000 resources. All other labs must be handled via capital projects through the appropriate vice presidential office. The vendor or a partner will provide maintenance services.
