Each university employee is provided an appropriate workstation for the employee's teaching or work responsibilities. It includes a desktop or laptop computer and other necessary software and peripheral equipment. The workstation is purchased by Information Technology (IT) and is managed by IT throughout the workstation's useful life, according to university policies for disposition of technology.
The workstation for each non-teaching staff member is selected based on university work requirements. Most staff workstations are desktop PCs with Microsoft Windows.
Each faculty member may choose the general configuration and platform of workstation most appropriate for his or her work. This process is guided by the Union University's Faculty Laptop Acquisition Policy and Procedures. (If you are asked to log in, enter uu\ and your Union username, then your university password.) Workstation choices are based on the current PC/Mac configurations being ordered by the university. The current choices can be viewed in this table.

Standard software is provided on each employee workstation. The software installed is based primarily on whether the workstation is a Windows PC or a Mac.
The university has site licenses for ChemBioDraw Ultra (chemistry and biology), SPSS (statistics) and Mathematica (math; Windows only). These programs can be installed on a university workstation on an as-needed basis.
Contact IT to ask about other single-copy, discipline-specific software you may need.
Some of these programs may be obtained for home use.
Each office employee has access to a laser printer near the employee's area. Some areas have a color laser printer. Student labs have laser printers.
Each area is responsible for purchasing and funding its own paper and toner. Toner for Union laser printers is ordered at www.cannon4.com. If you need a username and password for the site, contact IT.
High-volume, color or special printing/duplication can be performed by University Services (Jackson campus) at printing@uu.edu. State your printing needs in the body of the message and attach your file(s).
Employees and students can print documents saved on their laptops using PawPrint-designated printers. Student printing is managed through PaperWise.
