Institutional Purchase Procedure: Centrally-Funded Computers
Centrally-funded computers are available for new faculty members in new full-time eligible positions with departments that are:
a) Supported by TSS
b) Not solely funded with outside grants
If you are not sure whether you qualify for a centrally-funded computer, please contact Leona Gray at 202-687-4473, Fax: 202-687-1505, lsg2@georgetown.edu.
How to order a Centrally-Funded Computer
Contact Leona Gray at 202-687-4473, Fax: 202-687-1505, or via e-mail at: lsg2@georgetown.edu. If 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, Leona Gray will contact you. She will also coordinate the delivery, installation and configuration of your system with UIS Technology Support Services (TSS) or your local system administrator. If you have any questions during this time, please contact Leona at 202-687-4473, Fax: 202-687-1505, or lsg2@georgetown.edu.
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.
