Computing Allocation Process
The CAP occurs in the Spring/Summer. The CAP is the process through which you can order hardware, software, peripherals and upgrades. During the CAP, you can submit your request on-line, and it will be reviewed by your department chair. If your CAP request is approved, software and hardware will be installed and configured before the start of the next semester.
