This page needs to be reviewed for content updates If you are undecided as to whether you need to purchase a brand new computer, visit the Computer Replacement Cycle Program page before you buy anything. Replacement cycle computers or centrally funded computers are available for new faculty members in new full-time eligible positions with departments that are:
If you are not sure whether you qualify for a centrally-funded computer, please contact the UIS Helpdesk How to obtain a Centrally-Funded Computer Contact the UIS Helpdesk to check whether we have a computer already in stock, a TSS team member will install it as soon as possible. If one is not available in stock, we will order one for you, if you are eligible. We order the Dell OptiPlex 755 desktop, the Dell Latitude D630 or D830 notebooks, and the Apple iMac under this program. If you need a computer with additional features, the Main Campus Replacement Cycle Program will fund up to $1,200 for the total cost of a PC desktop, to include shipping, and up to $1,400 for a laptop or Apple computer. Any additional costs will have to be charged to your department through a departmental cost center. If you currently have a 17" flat panel monitor or larger, these funds will not cover the purchase of a new monitor. All centrally-funded computers are shipped directly to UIS. When the order arrives, the help desk will contact you to coordinate the delivery, installation and configuration of your system with UIS Technology Support Services (TSS) or your local system administrator. Centrally-funded computers must follow the ordering standards. If the computer is not a standard computer system, you will have to pay Georgetown University $75.00/hr for any future on-site hardware support. We strongly advise against this, and would be glad to help you obtain information on a comparable computer that fits our standards and your business needs. Payment Methods and Instructions In order to purchase a Dell item with a PROCard, do the following:
The University offers standard computer workstation and laptops that can be purchased directly with your PROCard. Standards include Dell and Apple laptop and workstations for University Services, Main Campus, and the Medical Center. The Business School offers a Lenovo standard. Computer workstations and laptops outside the University standard recommendations should not be purchased directly on the PROcard. Main campus faculty and staff members who are full time and not grant funded are on a campus-funded 3-year replacement cycle for their primary workstation.
