Hello Students, Faculty, and Staff of Malone University!
This update contains miscellaneous updates for spring semester. Highlights include:
- Laptop loaner program
- Equipment checkout updated
- Updates to classrooms and computer labs for spring
- Staff and faculty self-service vehicle registration on Xpress
- FREE MONEY!
Laptop loaner program
Through a generous equipment donation from Smucker, Malone is now able to offer a limited number of long term loans of laptops for students who do not have access to their own equipment. These long-term loans differ from a normal equipment checkout in that they are for the full academic year and are renwable over the student's entire tenure on campus.
If the equipment fails or needs replacing, it can be swapped out for a new unit for free. More details about the program and the ability to apply are available on the Student Development web page here. Please note that approval for the program as well as a $50 deposit is required before getting one of these laptops. The deposit is returned to the student once the equipment is returned to the Help Desk.
Equipment checkout updated
There have been a few upgrades to the IT Help Desk checkout equipment. We updated our iPad checkouts to new 5th generation ipad minis. These have replaced our old minis and will be fully charged, updated, and sanitized for every reservation. These can be used for video recording and editing and are leveraged by our education students for TPA videos as well as CVPA recording projects.
Equipment available for checkout from the IT Help Desk in Haviland Hall includes:
- iPads.
- Camcorders and tripods.stands
- audio recorders and microphones
- data projectors
- and more. All available at your request.
You can view a complete list of checkout equipment and how to reserve that equipment in FAQ77.
Updates to classrooms and computer labs for spring
We will be bringing two additional classrooms online in Spring 2021:
- FH24 (near the Human Resources office in Founders) has been reactivated for Spring
- JC201 (South side of Johnson Center on second floor near the stairway closest to the fountain) will be a 49 person tablet armchair room.
If you have not been to the Johnson Center, there have been a few changes to the second floor:
- The Mac lab (JC207) and overflow Mac lab (JC205) received new iMac hardware this fall.
- The edit suites in JC207A and JC207B also were updated.
- A new office suite has taken over the old Mac lab space. More announcements around that will come from elsewhere!
Computer labs and classrooms will continue to be socially distanced in the Spring.
Staff and faculty self-service vehicle registration on Xpress
Students have been able to self-register their vehicles on Malone Xpress for years. We have modified the Vehicle Registration Tool so that faculty and staff can now use it. This includes the ability to request a new or replacement vehicle permit.
You can access the tool on the faculty, staff, or campus life tabs of Malone Xpress! If you request a new or replacement permit, it will show up in the campus mail to your office mailbox on campus!
