Computer and Related Hardware Purchases

    Important Notes:

    • All laptops, tablets, hard drives, servers, and the like must have approval from the Russell Labs IT team attached to your order.
    • If purchasing on a grant, the funding should be split according to its use and extended warranties should be purchased on non-sponsored funds.
    • The rule applies to items ordered through ShopUW+ and pcard purchases.

    This is to ensure the equipment meets campus cyber security requirements, as well as your research needs. It also prevents accidental orders for items that will not be compatible with existing equipment and cuts down on returns.
