The College of Liberal Arts 2024-2025 Equipment Funding Request
All equipment funding requests should be made by the department chair (or designee), on behalf of the department as a whole. If you have questions related to what constitutes 'equipment' and particular price thresholds, please feel free to reach out to Assoc. Dean Josh Machamer. This process is for items costing more than $500 per item. Examples: lab projector, speaker for the lab, paint trap for the sink, camera, laser printer, etc. Digital items below $500, e.g., iPads, are also considered equipment.
 

  • Make your estimates as accurate as possible and include shipping charges where applicable.
  • Equipment requests for faculty research or personal use will not be considered. 
  • Due to limited budget and high volume of requests, the college may not be able to accommodate your request even if the outlined criteria are met.
  • Please limit your equipment request to no more than seven (7) items. Listed requests beyond seven (7) will not be considered.
  • The request will be reviewed and the department chair will be notified via email of approval or denial.
