Campus Computer Purchases for
UNCW Owned Computers
PLEASE NOTE: This information is for UNCW owned computers. If you are interested in purchasing a computer for personal use, see details here.
UNC General Administration has launched a required bulk IT purchasing program called Combined Pricing Initiative (CPI). The easiest, fastest way to order a computer on campus is to select one of the CPI computers which can be viewed in the Dell Catalog through uShop, the Purchasing Department's eProcurement system. In addition, purchasing a CPI computer allows ITS to provide better support due to:
- Standardized and better quality hardware
- Images for effective deployment and support
- The inclusion of Computrace to protect university data (All computers, regardless of whether they are a CPI computer, require the purchase of Computrace.)
- Enterprise standard hardware
- A longer warranty period, saving each department repair costs
To purchase an Apple or Dell computer that adheres to CPI standards:
- Log into mySeaport.
- Click the Administrative Services tab.
- Click on the uShop link.
- Click either the Dell or Apple link from the Punch-out section.
*Please note if you are ordering an Apple computer that you also need to purchase a Computrace Licence. This should be purchased from the Dell Punch-out (Dell is the reseller) and should be the first item in the list. - Select and configure a system according to your needs. For specific questions, please contact your Building Consultant through the TAC.
- After your system arrives please submit the ITS request located here to set up your computer.
To purchase a non-CPI computer:
- If you are ordering anything other than an Apple or Dell computer, log into mySeaport.
- Click the Administrative Services tab.
- Click on the uShop link.
- Click on the Non-Standard Computer Request link from the Showcased Services section.
- Fill out Non-Standard Computer Request form.
- You must also purchase a 5-year Computrace license for each computer.
- This should be purchased from the Dell Punch-out (Dell is the reseller) and should be the first item in the list.
- After your system arrives please submit the ITS request located here to set up your computer and have Computrace installed.
