ITSS has updated the process for purchasing and setting up computer equipment for faculty and staff across campus. (Note: These changes do not apply to lab or classroom computers.) These updates further support the existing
To improve efficiency and manage costs, ITSS will now only purchase standard equipment for new hires and computer replacements. This includes Windows laptops and desktops with i5 processors, 16 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSDs. Full details are available on the .
Departments seeking non-standard equipment must submit a request through the normal . Upon ITSS review and quote, purchases must be covered by approved alternative funding (e.g., departmental budgets, grants, or PDTR). Please note: non-standard equipment is not supported by ITSS for hardware or warranty issues.
Once approved, the department submits a requisition, and Procurement will issue the purchase order to the vendor. All equipment is shipped to ITSS for tagging and configuration. ITSS retains control over system imaging and network access (wired or Wi-Fi).
All devices remain the property of UPEI. There is no fixed replacement cycle; equipment is assessed by ITSS when issues arise. Devices must be returned to ITSS upon end of employment, department transfer, or change in use.
Personal device purchases are only eligible under PDTR in accordance with the Faculty Association Collective Agreement.
Questions or concerns can be directed to Deryl Gallant, Manager of ITSS Operations
