Hardware

University departments must purchase all computers through IT.  Computer peripherals, however do not necessarily need to be purchased by IT, but they may require prior IT approval. 

If you are interested in purchasing hardware, and/or require approval for an IT-related purchase, please submit a ticket to the Help Desk.

Reuse, Transfer or Resale of Electronic Storage Devices

To ensure the confidentiality of university data and to comply with software licensing contracts, all electronic storage devices must be properly cleaned prior to reuse, transfer or resale.
