Faculty and Staff Computing Packages

The OSU College of Education provides each faculty and staff member with a computer and desktop printer. Faculty and staff computing packages are typically replaced every three years. All computer purchases are reviewed by the COE Director of Technology to ensure minimum standards are met and that state contract pricing is utilized. As detailed below, COE technology offers choices between PC or MAC platforms, desktop or laptop configurations, and laser or color inkjet printers. If you choose a laptop as your replacement, the laptop must also serve as your desktop computer.

Generally, desktop computers provide better performance than laptops if portability is not a need. Likewise, laserjet printers provide better performance than color inkjet printers if color printing is not a need. In addition to the desktop printer provided, faculty and staff have access to high speed network printing on devices located throughout the College (recommended for high volume print jobs).
