| Frequently
Asked Questions
When can I order a computer through the Faculty
Computer Purchase Program?
You can order your computer starting July 1. Ordering and reimbursement requests must be done by April 15.
How does the university determine who is eligible
for the program?
Each college determines who is eligible. The basic principle of the
program is to have each faculty member eligible once every four years
based on who has the oldest computers. All eligibility decisions will
be made at the college or department level.
How do I know if I’m eligible for the
program this year?
You will be notified by FCPP soon after the start of the new fiscal year, July 1.
How do I get the funds for my new computer?
First, order your computer and then fill out the request for reimbursement
form and send it to Bruce Fast, fcpp@colorado.edu. We will reimburse
the cost of your order up to $1200.
Do I have to order a recommended system to get
the reimbursement?
No, you may order any computer you like or other computer oriented
equipment or software and be eligible for reimbursement. However, if
you decide to buy a computer other than an Apple or Dell, know that
the campus repair service, PC Maintenance, charges for warranty service
for computers not from those two vendors. Please contact Bruce Fast, fcpp@colorado.edu, before
ordering to confirm your eligibility for reimbursement.
What software do I receive with my computer?
All computers from recommended vendors will come loaded with an operating
system (Windows Vista or Mac OS ) and a web browser. BugBusters will
install CUantivirus and MS Office 2007 at no charge
as part of the program. If you order a nonstandard system, we may
not be able to provide Antivirus or Office depending on what you have
ordered. (Example: if you order a Linux workstation, we will not be
able to load CUantivirus or Office).
What if I don’t order a computer this
year?
If you do not order a computer by April 15 then it is up to
your college to decide if you should again be eligible the following
year or if you will have to wait four years to be eligible again.
