Office of Technology Services Computer Trade-Up Program

To ensure university faculty and staff have the technology resources needed to do their work, the university attempts to replace outdated computers with current models, subject to availability of funds. The Trade-Up Program covers a faculty or staff member's "primary computer" only. Other terms and conditions apply and this wizard will help determine eligibility. Departmental or other funding is needed if the computer falls outside of the scope of the Trade-Up Program. Systems currently targeted for replacement include:
  • Windows desktop computers at or below a 2.0 GHz processor speed (Dell Optiplex GX260 models and below)
  • Windows laptop computers at or below a 1.66 GHz processor speed (Dell Latitude C series and below)
  • Other Windows-based desktop or laptop systems from other manufacturers, based on the above processor speeds
  • Apple Macintosh desktop computers with a processor speed of 1.42 GHz or less
  • Apple Macintosh laptop computers with a processor speed of 1.33 GHz or less
Providing qualification information using this web-based service does not constitute placing an order, so please do not expect a new computer to arrive the day after you click "Submit!" This is a planning tool only and, designed to help determine whether your computer qualifies. When computers become available, we will work with each department to coordinate purchase, delivery, installation, and setup.
