This article explains what equipment is provided to new on-site employees, telework employees, and contractors, and how to request it.
Overview
Starting a new role can be overwhelming, so we want to make getting your tech setup as easy as possible. This guide explains what equipment is provided for on-site staff, remote (telework) staff, and contractors, as well as how to request it.
Equipment for On-Site New Hires
If you are an on-site employee with a dedicated office, you will receive a standard computer bundle. This is requested through the Employee Onboarding form in the TDX portal.
Your bundle typically includes:
- Computer: Dell laptop/desktop.
- Monitor: One screen (some include a built-in "docking station" to connect your accessories).
- Accessories: A wireless mouse and keyboard.
- Dock: A "Thunderbolt dock" to connect your laptop to your monitor and power (if needed).
Note: If you need more than one monitor, these must be purchased using your specific department's funds.
Equipment for Remote (Telework) New Hires
Remote employees are provided with a standard notebook computer.
Please note: Per the ACC Telework policy, IT does not provide office accessories for remote setups. The following items must be purchased with your department’s funds if needed:
- External Monitors
- Docking stations
- Wireless keyboards and mice

Equipment for Contractors
Contractors are provided with a standard notebook computer.
Accessories and extra monitors are not provided by IT. However, your department can request a price quote for these items by submitting a Hardware Service Request.
