When purchasing hardware for faculty and staff to support their professional lives, we adhere to certain standards to maintain cohesion and uniformity in our campus technology.
Before purchasing something, check the list below.
Once you're ready to request a computer, fill out our Purchase Request Form. IET User Services and the Office of Procurement will coordinate the purchasing and installation of your new device.
For software requests, please submit a case to IET support.
- Note: If wanting to purchase enterprise (university-wide) software, please review the Technology Selection Policy for an overview of the process.
IET maintains minimum technology requirements to ensure our faculty, staff and students engage in work and learning experiences supported by reliable hardware. In addition to these minimum standards, we set a five-year lifespan for faculty and staff computers. This measure prevents the accumulation of outdated, slow machines with failing hardware or unsupported features.
