Laptop Support Policy

The Baskin School of Engineering Laptop Support policy is comprised of two main categories: supported and unsupported.

Supported Laptops Are:

  • Techstaff will support client configuration for SOE services (eg. email, printers, SSH/SFTP).
  • Techstaff will support all campus software on supported laptops (eg. CruzTime, FIS/Banner, InfoView).
  • Techstaff will send supported laptops in for hardware issues, and encourage the purchase of a 3 year warranty.

Unsupported Laptops Are:

  • For unsupported laptops we will provide network, DNS, and IDS scanning if they are used on SOE networks.

Additional Restrictions:
