Computer Lifecycle


ITS ensures that every division of the College is outfitted with the latest computer technology, offering a robust selection of both Windows and macOS devices to cater to diverse needs and preferences.

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of performance and reliability, which is why we adhere to a strict four-year lifecycle for equipment replacement. This proactive approach guarantees that all departments have access to up-to-date technology, enhancing efficiency and supporting the College’s mission.
