Cascade Computers
- Computers returned through the Computer Refresh Program (CRP) that meet current minimum support standards are securely erased, re-imaged, and reallocated as cascade computers.
- Cascade computers are available for positions that are not eligible for the CRP. This includes student employees, GAs, or part-time employees (NOTE: position's salary must be paid through General or Auxiliary funds. Grant-funded positions are ineligible.)
Cascade computers are available for short-term and temporary departmental check-out machines (limited supply)
Research laboratory use for GA, part-time, and student employees
Cascade units will not be placed in classrooms or computer labs. They also cannot be used as a second computer for any employee.
- Cascades must be approved by the I.T. Director of User Services.
- Departments can request a cascade computer by completing the I.T. Help Desk Cascade Request Form.
- Computers returned through the CRP that do not meet current minimum support standards undergo secure erasure prior to being dispensed through the University's standard surplus procedure.
