app will supply one computing device for each eligible employee. The university will not provide both a desktop and a laptop.
CIT is adhering to the university's Work From Anywhere policy stipulating that WFA must be “zero cost to the university.” Therefore, out-of-lifecycle changes from desktop to laptop are not able to happen. If you currently have a desktop computer that is not older than 5 years, you will need to wait until the desktop is up for replacement before switching to a laptop, regardless of which university budget may pay for the change.
