All off-site computer-related training will be processed through Information Technology (IT) and administered by IT Administration. Such training is for software classes that Information Technology does not offer on-site (e.g., Power BI, Visio, etc.).

The following form must be completed before training is scheduled.

This form requires the student to provide the reason for the computer training.

Once the Request for Off-Site Training form is received, IT will determine if the request meets the criteria for off-site computer training to be paid from the Fringe Benefit Fund.

If the request is dependent upon an upcoming project, the request will be reviewed by the IT Project Manager.

Upon approval, a class registration form will be sent to the student. The student must complete the registration form, include their supervisor’s signature for approval, and return the completed registration form to IT Administration.

The software for the requested class must be loaded on the student’s PC prior to the first day of class. To request software installation, please submit a request via Service Connect.

If the off-site computer training involves travel accommodations, the students’ department will be responsible for all travel costs.
