This is a Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) between the campus community and ICIT to document:
Surplus Equipment Processing is the service for removing unwanted technology equipment from campus offices, labs and classrooms. Once removed, ICIT serves as a clearinghouse for the equipment, which is evaluated, and either kept for potential redeployment or recycled as part of the TREE (Technology Repurposing & Electronic E-cycling) program. Asset inventory is tracked and records are updated. Before computers are removed from campus, hard drives are cleaned and data are destroyed based on an industry-approved reformatting process; non-functioning hard drives are physically disassembled and destroyed. The intent of the surplus process is to ensure that computer equipment is not removed from campus while still having a useful purpose, and can be redeployed or put to use on campus for temporary needs or special projects.
Removal of surplus equipment
To request removal of unwanted technology equipment, departments should submit a request to the TSC Helpdesk using the iConnect-Tech Support-Self system. After receipt of the request, equipment will be collected from the departments on the next collection date, based on a regular monthly schedule.

ICIT Responsibilities:
ICIT will evaluate all surplus equipment to verify functionality of components and to assess ability to run the current versions of standard software. If these requirements are met, the equipment will be added to the stock pool of equipment that is used for campus redeployment. Minor repairs will be made, computer hard drives will have all data removed and will be re-imaged with the current campus suite of standard software. Equipment from this pool will be re-deployed on campus, to temporarily replace non-functioning equipment or for use in specially-designated projects. Requests for surplus equipment should go through the helpdesk and ICIT will consider these requests on a case-by-case basis.
