Hardware Request

IS&T is responsible for tracking technology assets purchased with University funds. To ensure accurate inventory and tracking, all computer hardware, peripherals, TVs, or any other equipment that is intended to connect to the University’s wired or wireless network and/or purchased with University funds will require approval by IS&T prior to purchase, regardless of the funding source. This includes online orders, purchases made from open POs, employee reimbursements, etc.

Hardware Request Form

While most hardware and IT-related equipment require IS&T review and approval, some items are exempt. The lists below provide guidance on exempt and non-exempt purchases. For questions on any equipment that you wish to purchase or to consult with IS&T prior to your purchase, please contact the Solution Center at SolutionCenter@shengmeiting.net or 205-665-6512.
