Information Technology Services (ITS) is committed to providing the college community with the highest possible quality of service through the implementation, advancement, and support of technology.

We provide support for departmental and site-licensed applications, as well as those developed in-house. We also provide training and support of college-wide programs, such as the e-Directory, Web Publishers, and the Smart Classroom Initiative. We also provide consultation services to help you determine technology solutions appropriate for your needs.

Policies

  • College Policies

  • Guest Accounts Policy

    Guest Accounts are provided for non-student community members who wish to use Central Piedmont computing facilities.

    College employees can request creation of guest accounts via the Guest Network Account Request form.

    Guest accounts do not have a print quota. Guests needing to print may purchase quota by visiting the campus Cashiering window. Please note, guest accounts have an expiration date, so the print quota will be cleared at the time the account expires.

  • Responsibility of Classroom Consumables

    Consumables are defined as those items which are "used/consumed" and must be replenished.  Marker pens, printer paper, printer toner cartridges, and projector bulbs are typical consumables.

    ITS is responsible for technology consumables (printer toner cartridges, paper, and projector bulbs) for general computer classrooms, computer labs and smart classrooms.  If such a facility is a dedicated space for a particular program then that program area will cover the consumable costs.  This is also true for self supporting entities. The college Printing Services is responsible for all consumables for their copiers and MFP’s (Copier/Scanner/Printer combo). ITS help desk staff is available to facilitate the purchase of necessary items on behalf of the program areas when the area has provided a budget account number to charge.  A program's lab fees are appropriate source of funds for supporting consumable costs.  If no lab fees are charged then the program areas will have a supply budget indentified to support these costs.
     
    As part of the college’s commitment to sustainability, ITS highly recommends the use of recycled paper and printer toner cartridges. Recycled toner cartridges are available from Duraline Imaging Inc. (800.982.3872) per North Carolina state term contract 207A. Used toner cartridges should be returned to the contract vendor to avoid Core charges.  The vendor provides pre-paid shipping labels for return of used cartridges. New cartridges may only be purchased if refurbished ones are not available. Thank you for your contribution to protecting our environment.
