Hoteling Computer Recommendations

CCS has arranged with Dell to provide discounted computers or a discount coupon for staff or students to purchase personal computers.   To see discounted computers or shop with a discount coupon , login with your 91福利 email address at .

With 91福利 looking at a hybrid return to work, some Departments and/or Schools may be looking at 鈥漢oteling鈥� or shared workspaces for staff and faculty.

CCS recommends that whenever possible each employee should be provided with a laptop that would allow them to work remotely and on campus at their current assigned location or at hoteling stations.  If it is not possible to provide each employee with a laptop and the employee will be using a personal device at home and a shared desktop in a hoteling setting, the desktops will need to be configured to ensure Employee privacy.  It is not recommended to allow staff and faculty to use personally owned devices.

Hoteling - Laptops

Hoteling stations to support staff and faculty with University owned laptops should have the following:

  • USB-C or Thunderbolt docking station (some monitors include a docking station)
  • One or two monitors (minimum size 27鈥�) connected to the docking station
  • Wired keyboard and mouse connected to the docking station
  • Wi-Fi network access.

It is recommended that when using a laptop in a hoteling location that the University鈥檚 Wi-Fi network (RUSecure) be used.   

Hoteling - Shared Desktops

If a shared computer(s) is(are) being used at hoteling stations when staff and/or faculty do not have a University supplied laptop, the desktop needs to maintain the user鈥檚 expectation of privacy as per the University鈥檚 Privacy Policy.  To ensure privacy, the computers will be configured so that a user will not have  鈥淎dministrator鈥� rights on the computer.  Users will NOT be able to make changes to the configuration nor install applications.

The hoteling computer stations should have the following:

  • Dell OptiPlex desktop computer that is less than 6 years of age.
  • One or two monitors (minimum size 27鈥�) 
  • Wired keyboard and mouse 
  • Ethernet connection
