Instructional Equipment Requests

Below are the necessary definitions, rubric, and request form for the Instructional Equipment Request (IER) process. The Resource Allocation Committee (RAC) will utilize the definitions, rubric, and form to review all IE Requests and make recommendations to the President.

RAC stresses the importance of quality requests and encourages all requesters to consult the IER rubric when writing the request. RAC may choose not to rank incomplete requests or requests that do not adhere strictly to dates and stated timelines.
