Employee

ITS supplies and supports equipment, software, and file storage to help you in your role at Bethel.

Software

Bethel computers come with software resources to support your work. You can request additional software based on your needs.

If you need additional software installed in a classroom, fill out a classroom software request form.

If you use a personal computer, you may purchase Microsoft 365 University at a reduced rate through the Microsoft Home Use program.

Equipment

If you think you’re eligible to replace your Bethel-owned computer, fill out the employee computer request form. When your computer reaches a certain age, you’ll receive an email letting you know it’s eligible for an upgrade over the summer. The Desktop Services team will schedule a time with you to replace your equipment.

Every classroom includes an instructor station with teaching and learning technology resources.

Information storage

Staff and faculty are encouraged to store work-related files on campus servers—never on your computer hard drive or personal storage devices.

• Each faculty and staff member has 1GB of storage space on a personal drive. You can request more space if needed.
• Departments use shared folders for collaborative files. Access to these folders is managed through groups. You can request access through Identity Access Management (IAM).
• Google Drive is also available for creating, storing, sharing, and editing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Learn more about Google Drive.

Security
