Question
What equipment will ITS assist with moving? How should my department prepare for a move?
Answer
Generally speaking, ITS will assist with moving any equipment with a BGSU asset tag, and ITS-provided Cisco phones. (Please note: Not all BGSU employees are permitted to move their equipment to a new location on campus; please follow this link for more information.) ITS will also assist with moving monitors and other small peripherals (e.g. keyboards, mice, card swipes, label printers) attached to BGSU-owned assets.
ITS will not assist with physical moves for computers and associated equipment that are personally-owned, owned by a third-party company, and/or were provided/installed by a third-party. Printer/copier moves with a PERRY proTECH printer ID number should be coordinated by contacting PERRY proTECH.
As of Spring Semester 2021, ITS no longer assists with computer/equipment moves for large construction projects. Logistics firms should be involved to assist. Please contact Planning, Design & Construction for assistance.
If you and/or employees in your area or department are moving to a new location on campus that is NOT part of a large construction project, please submit a move request form to ITS. Include a list of employees, assets, and current office locations, and day(s) they should be moved (if applicable). Then, refer to this checklist to prepare:
- Label all computer equipment with individual owners’ names and office numbers for the new location (with a label or piece of wide tape that won’t fall off in transit). This includes: keyboards, mice, monitors, docking stations, phones, power adapters, and other peripherals.
- New offices, cubicles, or workstations should be labeled with the names of their new occupant(s).
- Contact PERRY proTECH if any printers or copiers are part of your move.
