More Information

For many hardware requests we will check stock and fulfill or order as needed. Departments may be responsible for the purchase of hardware beyond what ITS can provide as standard.

For example: the standard monitor allocation is two screens total - one laptop or iMac and one external monitor, or a desktop and two monitors. Monitors requested beyond this are provided by ITS but need to be funded by their department or other funding source. Not sure if your request is standard or not? We'll help navigate the process!
