The Saint Mary's Computer Evergreen Policy can be found here 2-2005_EvergreenPolicy.pdf (smu.ca).
Contact: Melanie More-Duckworth, m.more@smu.ca.
Saint Mary’s University provides computing devices that are leased by the University for use by faculty, staff, and students through the Evergreen Program. These computers are replaced on a 4 year renewal cycle. Computer standards are set each year defining specifications for a standard desktop and laptop model as well as a standard Macbook and iMac model.
EIT maintains a database of current assets and will reach out those due for evergreen renewal prior to their designated replacement month to confirm an appointment for the return of current computer and peripherals and deployment of your new hardware.
