  • Each eligible faculty member is entitled to 1 CRP computer only. If an eligible faculty member relocates to another department at York the CRP computer will move with them

How to request the service

Cost

This program is centrally funded by UIT (University Information Technology - Keele Campus).  However, faculty members can request upgrades to their CRP computers.  In this case, the cost difference between the rebate amount and the basic unit price will be paid by faculty members’ research accounts or PER. ITS will need the faculty members’ research account or PER before placing the order. Other costs Lost, stolen, damaged equipment while off campus: each faculty is responsible for the security of the computers obtained for their faculty members. If a CRP computer, desktop or laptop is removed from campus locations (home office), it must be covered by an individual’s own personal household insurance. The faculty will compensate UIT with an amount equal to the residual value of the lost, stolen or damaged computer.
