Body
New faculty often need access to hardware and software applications before their official first day of work. In order to facilitate access to needed tools, ITS needs information from new faculty members.
First Contact
When new faculty are invited to submit information through Workday, one item to complete is a brief online form called Incoming Faculty Technology Request. This form asks for start date, department, tenureline (yes/no) and operating system preference. We ask this early in order to plan for how many computers we need to order.
New faculty, depending on how early they fill in this form, may not receive an immediate reply.
Second Contact
90 days prior to the official first day of work, new faculty will receive an email that asks them to activate their Carleton account.
Third Contact
Around 90 days prior to the official first day of work, the Director of Academic Technology will send an email to new faculty, either to their previously recorded personal email account or to their new Carleton account. This email introduces new faculty to some technology resources and asks more specific questions about software and hardware needs. Once ITS receives a reply, we can start setting up the requested technology, recorded through a TDX ticket. Departmental academic administrative assistants can review the status of these tickets by searching for tickets for their department.
