Networking Request - New Network Connection

Overview

Use this service to request a new network line to be put in.

OIT is responsible for, and handles all, data wiring on campus.  Departments are not allowed to use outside vendors to obtain their own data wiring.  Coordinating your wiring needs with OIT will allow for:

  • Consistent wiring standards across campus
  • Better pricing as we might be able to connect your work with another project going on across campus
  • Timely execution of the project

When you submit your request for a new network line, OIT will work with you to find out what your needs are, and offer the best way to achieve it. In addition, OIT will assess the scope of the needs and determine if it can be handled "in house" by OIT, or if we will need to engage a vendor partner to carry out the work.  If OIT needs to engage an outside vendor to complete the work, we will advise you of the cost of the project and seek your approval before starting any work.
