Purchasing Computers and Peripherals

Purchases out of College Budget

Procedure for ordering computers, computer peripherals and computer software. These will now be purchased from a "central technology equipment budget". All purchases from this central technology budget must be approved by your department supervisor/Instructional Dean and by our IT Director, Tim Furr. To initiate such a purchase, submit a purchase requisition first to your supervisor or Dean. If approved, the requisition will be sent to Tim Furr for his approval and order placement.

All other (non-computer related) purchases will continue to be handled as they have been in the past, whereby purchase requisitions under $500 may be submitted directly to Teren Novotny. Orders of $500 or more, must first be approved by your supervisor/Dean.

For a quote, please call Stacie Laughlin at ext. 5738. There are multiple state contracts for hardware and software they have access to.
