Software
Software offered by IT is only available for purchase by S&T employees.
University departments may purchase computers and peripherals through the UM Volume Purchase Agreements. However, IT does not manage procurement for all items available on the Volume Purchasing Agreement contracts. If you are interested in purchasing hardware or software, please submit a ticket to the Help Desk.
Note: University departments must follow the established guidelines and Purchase Approval Policy for all purchases.
