Applying to Become an ITAdmin Rep

General requirements for ITAdmin Reps

Willingness to Learn: An ITAdmin Rep must be willing to learn about computers and their applications and be able to participate in educational programs provided by ITS.

Computer Literate: Some degree of computer literacy is expected.

Staff Position: It is strongly recommended that the ITAdmin Rep be a permanent, continuing staff member owing to the time commitment and more consistent availability. This minimizes the re-training required to bring changing reps up to entry-level status and allows for more continuity in departmental support.

Number of ITAdmin Reps per Department: Based on the size of the department and the possible division of the department geographically, there could be more than one ITAdmin Rep representing a department (maximum of two per department). For departments with few personnel resources, neighbouring departments could share a ITAdmin Rep.

ITAdmin Rep Time Commitment: The time required to perform certain tasks in a department will vary depending on the ITAdmin Rep's computing skills, and their designated job function within the department. Times listed below are approximations.

• Administrative tasks: one hour per week.
• ITAdmin Rep Training to bring a new ITAdmin Rep to entry-level status, and then on-going training to keep updating skills and information: one hour per week.
• Computing duties, i.e., assisting departmental members with software and/or hardware questions and problems: anywhere from one hour to eight hours per week.
• Availability for ITAdmin Rep meetings.
