The application form, as well as all related guidelines and policies, can be found on the Human Resources>>Organizational Effectiveness & Development intranet page.

Office 365 Rollout
College IT is doing a phased migration of College workstations from Microsoft Office Professional 2016 to Microsoft Office 365. The College is making the change for many reasons, most notably because Office Professional 2016 is no longer in mainstream support and Office 365 is a perpetually updated version that will not require future major version upgrades. For more information, see the FAQs. As a reminder, active employees and enrolled students also can use Office 365 as many as five of their personally owned computers. Learn more here.
