Computer Purchasing Guide - For Offices in Central Academic Affairs

For Central Academic Affairs offices, computer purchases for new staff and necessary replacement computers will be managed by Academic Resources from a central budget. Academic Resources initiates the purchasing process for computers that are 5 or more years old. Requests outside the refresh cycle are processed on a flow basis for new employees or broken equipment. Please note that as the end of the fiscal-year approaches, the budget may be exhausted.

To submit a request to replace a computer or purchase a computer for a new hire, please submit the request here: Computer Request Form

• Academic Resources will review the request and open an eHelp ticket if the purchase is approved. This will trigger the rest of the process, including IT/ATI approvals, and setup scheduling. You will be notified along the way of the status of your request.
• Computer accessories that don’t come with the initial computer purchase, such as, mice, keyboards, web cameras, etc. are to be ordered by the department requesting them. Monitors can be requested using the computer request form above.
