Effective September 1, 2026, requests for IT assistance with employee moves of up to five people must be coordinated through the Facilities department, preferably by someone with budget authority. Follow the process below to ensure the move is approved, assessed, and supported.

Employee Move Request Process

  1. Before submitting a request, the employee must obtain approval to move from their department’s Vice President or Dean
  2. Send the request by email directly to
  3. If the request is approved, Facilities will complete a SAMI Move Request Form, which will be routed to the University Systems and Networking team
  4. University Systems and Networking will contact impacted users to assess infrastructure needs, including cabling
  5. Unless Facilities specifically states otherwise, the department is responsible for any IT costs related to the move
  6. On the day of the move, a member of Computing Services will assist with relocating the user’s computer, phone, and peripheral IT equipment

Note

Departmental moves involving more than five employees are considered a project and require coordination with a Facilities Project Manager.
Employees who move without proper approval cannot be supported by IT until the process above has been completed.
