2019 Full-Time Faculty Rollout

Faculty rollout has begun! (Last Update: 2/1/19)
On Friday, Feb. 1st, faculty were sent an email inviting them to select a date to exchange their existing computer for a new one. 
 
The calendar sign-up link is https://webapps.eku.edu/itdscalendar/ (on-campus only). Once on the page, select Laptop on the calendar drop down menu in the top right corner.  When you select a date you will be asked to login with your EKU credentials in order to complete the reservation.
 
Feb. 4-8 is reserved for faculty who selected the Dell Tablet. Half of the exchange dates Feb. 11-15 are reserved for MacBook users. 
 
Starting on Feb 11 and continuing throughout the semester, dates are available for all exchanges.
