Further information on this process is available on the departmental purchasing procedures web page. To simplify the selection of desktop computer systems, Information Technology has provided Apple and Dell with system requirements for on campus computers. In turn, they have developed Apple systems and Dell systems that will meet those requirements and made them accessible on their web sites. Departmental purchases of peripheral devices and software are initiated on the University's FRS system. Personal purchases of computers, peripheral devices and software can be made on Apple's, Dell's or other vendors' web sites.
Payment is made via personal credit card.
