Overview

The goal of this policy is to standardize the equipment, software, and support available to Haas PhD students from Haas Technology Solutions (TS). This policy will help enable their work and support the mission of the school. To promote flexibility, we are also outlying how we will support PhD students who prefer working off of their personal laptops.

Please note that TS-provided computers and equipment are furnished, allocated and/or replaced, based on budget availability, supervisory approval and compliance with applicable TS lifecycle replacement policies.

These computers and equipment were designed to be used within a shared workspace environment (similar to hoteling stations), and should not be personalized* or removed from their assigned locations so that they remain accessible to multiple (present and future) PhD students.

*e.g. avoid saving files locally

ℹ Note: This policy describes future plans and not a current option available for request. Subject to budget changes.

Acceptable Use

Haas TS-provided computers are subject to UC Berkeley’s overarching Computer Use Policy.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

To provide a more streamlined desk setup, Haas TS’s goal will be to outfit PhD student desks with collaboration hub monitors (budget permitting) to offer PhD’s the option to use their own laptops, which they may customize to their own preferences.

Benefits:

  • No administration assistance required, you manage your machine as you see fit.
  • Necessary research software available via software.berkeley.edu.
  • Charging, network, webcam, speakers, mic, and display connection via collaboration hub monitor.

What Is Covered:

✦ Haas TS reserves the right to make changes to this policy.
