The Information Technology Center uses standards for hardware connecting to the university’s network infrastructure. The standards offer appropriate updates and compatibility of the university technology environment, assurance of proper technology support, and cost savings with negotiated discounts. On this page you will find links to quotes for a standard desktop, notebooks, printers, scanners, faxes, and projectors. These quotes are pre-configured and are not alterable. Please check the standards webpage before using a quote because the prices are subject to change. All technology hardware purchases must be approved by the Associate Vice President for Information Technology.
For approval of the standard quotes, please send a request to the ITC helpdesk via Track-It. For non-standard quotes, please send a request to the ITC helpdesk via Track-It for a quote and approval.
