Fordham IT is proud to offer our faculty and staff computer products especially designed and priced for them. We also have information on our recommended computer specifications .

We have established unique relationships with Dell, Lenovo, HP and Apple, which grant special pricing to the Fordham community. The University does not endorse any particular computer platform or vendor. Pricing is set by each individual vendor and questions about pricing of products should be directed to the vendors themselves. Please click here for more information.

Departmental Computer Purchases

Leases:
Most University computers are on a Lease Program. After the lease expires, User Support Services will contact the end-user about the replacement of the equipment. Normally requests for computer equipment for academic departments go through the Academic Vice President's office as part of the budget process.

Departmental Purchases:
Fordham University departments may purchase computers, computer accessories, and software for departmental use. Computer Acquisitions may configure for pricing a machine with the department's detailed specifications or the departments may inquire about Fordham's standard requirements.

Scanners, memory, digital cameras, external hard drives, printers, and other computer accessories may be purchased through Computer Acquisitions.
