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

The Telework policy can be found here, https://sites.austincc.edu/administrative-rules/?p=901

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.
