Computers - Buying, Selling, Supporting

  1. Purchase all computers through LATIS (this includes computers for all needs and funding sources). We can assist in configurations either adhering to CLA standards or custom needs.
  2. CLA does not sell computers to individuals. The process to properly sell a computer puts an undue burden on both LATIS and Financial Service Team personnel due to securing private data, EFS, and other university regulations. As the computers are of questionable value without support (something technicians cannot provide), it is not worth the additional work (e.g. erasing all software and data from the hard drives, creating an invoice in EFS, etc.) to sell them. This policy is applies to ALL computers purchased by university funds.
  3. Every computer used for University business requires professional support provide by the UMN Office of Information Technology. The CLA Computer Replacement Program (CRP) provides for replacement support for computers a varying ages up to 6 years old - an increased amount of money is available for a computer that lasts longer. More information is available on the Technology Purchasing page in the CLA Neighborhood.
