Departmental Classrooms List
Departmental Classrooms are instructional spaces with a minimum of 35 hours of scheduled instruction per semester. Due to the high instructional usage, these rooms qualify for additional support from IT. The support structure is as follows:
- ITAC offers live Help Desk support similar to IT Supported Classrooms, at no cost.
- Most departments have a TSP or Admin who can provide support as well, and should act as the liaison with ITAC.
- Computers in these classrooms are exclusively owned and maintained by the department and TSP.
- ITAC - Learning Spaces will upgrade equipment when possible using surplus inventory pulled from IT Supported Classrooms.
- Departments may request upgrades or enhancements and are responsible for providing funding for equipment and labor.
- Supporting Departmental Classrooms is ITAC's secondary priority.
