Non Standard - Exceptional Configurations

ITS capacity to maintain and support Apple OS computers is very limited, not scalable and we do not have all the same academic software campus licenses that we have for Windows. The configurations hereafter listed are targeted to the Faculties of Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Computer Science Department who require the use of software which are only available on the Apple OS platform. Outside of these targeted users, we strongly recommend the purchasing of one "fully supported" standard configuration listed above. These are a lot easier to support and to evolve and these are the ones ITS tests before introducing new software and systems and, there is no assurance that Apple computers will be fully compatible with Bishop's classroom technology. This situation gets a "Limited Support" from ITS.

However, to accommodate Faculty having exceptional requirements, it is also possible to purchase one of the Bishop's compliant computers listed below. In such situations, ITS will provide the best possible support (as we do with "not supported configurations") but there may be charges to the Faculty if ITS has to do manual set-up or installation which would be automated with Bishop's standard Windows configurations. Also, if subsequent troubleshooting is required, outside of ITS regular scope with Bishop's standard configurations, they might be applicable charges. Configurations under this situation are referred as "Barely Supported" by ITS.
