Personal Purchases and Free Software

For the personal benefit of all students, faculty, staff, and administration, ITS has arranged special pricing through a number of vendors. Those interested in exploring discounted opportunities are encouraged to competitively shop around as sometimes better deals can be located through commercial stores, warehouse stores, or online.

For those looking for recommendations from ITS for technology, please refer to the Notebook, Tablet and Technology Recommendations page.

All acquisitions are handled directly between the buyer and the vendor. The ITS department has no involvement in the transaction.
