Campus Workstation Program (CWP)

The Campus Workstation Program (CWP) is a funding model designed to meet the computing needs of all eligible Notre Dame faculty and staff members. While the program was suspended during the pandemic, it was resumed as of July 1st, 2021

ESC has been designated to oversee Campus Workstation purchases for the colleges of Engineering and Science.
