Purchasing Software Guidelines

The District maintains a “web store” of hardware and software commonly needed in the classroom. Every faculty member can look through the Web Store on the Intranet > Technology Acquisitions to look at software that has already been tested for compatibility in our District.

 

Existing/ Approved Software

  • See the list of software on our District webpage.
    • Identify the software needed for academic or professional reasons.
    • Identify a funding source.
    • Submit a Technology Proposal with your CIT. Wait for an approval number.
    Create a Purchase Order for the software with information provided on the District's Acquisitions webpage. Include the approval number.
    • Obtain the CIT's signature.
    • Make a file copy.
    • Give the completed Purchase Order to your campus bookkeeper.

Other Software

  • There are frequent occasions when what you need is not shown in the Web Store. For example, you might need to purchase the Tom Snyder Productions Software called Timeliner. These are the steps:
    • Identify the software needed for academic or professional reasons.
    • Identify a funding source.
    • Complete an INS-03 Form which explains the academic need for the software. Submit it for approval to the District Committee through your CIT.
    • Wait for the INS-03 approval. Then,
    • Submit a Technology Proposal with your CIT. Wait for an approval number.
    Create a Purchase Order. If you do not have a vendor or pricing, contact our Acquisitions Department for assistance.
    • Obtain the CIT's signature.
    • Make a file copy.
    • Give the completed Purchase Order to your campus bookkeeper.

Loading Software

  • If you have successfully completed a Purchase Order for software, you will receive notification when the software arrives at our District level Software Library. It will not be delivered to you.
  • Place an online Technology Workorder to have the software installed. Be sure to list the Purchase Order number, INS-03 approval, and TP #.
  • Call your CIT for assistance if needed.
