Replacement (what gets replaced when)

Every four years every faculty/staff full-time State line position’s computer is up for replacement.  If you have two machines (i.e. a desktop and a laptop), the newest one will be replaced.  Campus computers are on a replacement schedule.  You will be contacted by CTS if your equipment is up for replacement.

If you need your peripherals replaced (i.e. printers), you will need to order that on your own. There is no replacement schedule for peripherals.

 

Ordering beyond the "standard"

If your order goes beyond the “standard” to meet your needs, it may add time to your delivery.  Also, it will need to be determined which budget will incur the extra cost.

 

What if I am not sure what I need?

1. Email CTS Purchasing (ctspurchasing@buffalostate.edu) and explain what it is you need or need your computer equipment to do for you. 

2. They will work with you and give you a quote. 

3. Attach the quote to a requisition and send it to purchasing. 

4. When your items are in CTS will schedule set-up with you via the CHD.
