The Faculty Computer Trade-in Program


The goal of the FaCT program is to provide eligible faculty members a computer, software, and support at no cost to the them or their department.

The Provost and UIC Administration have actively supported its faculty's effort in keeping UIC at the forefront of technology's use in education. They are also aware that, in order to keep UIC competitive, its faculty needs access to the resources to support this endeavor. One of the limiting factors regarding faculty involvement in developing online research and teaching resources is the lack of adequate computers on their desks. To that effect, the Provost provides the Academic Computing and Communications Center with recurring funds for the Faculty Computer Trade-in (FaCT) Program. Our goals are as follows:

  1. Provide free machines to faculty members who are new to UIC and who meet the program's requirements.
  2. Upgrade existing faculty machines approximately on a 4-year cycle, but varies depending on budget constraints and starting with the lowest-end machines first.

FaCT is for benefits-eligible, tenured and tenured track faculty only. Emeritus faculty are not eligible. Eligible faculty must also have a UIC NetID and UIC email account to participate. To check if you are eligible, please search or browse through this list.
