Technology Acquisition: Understanding IT Approval Requirements
August 15, 2023
In preparation for the new academic year, you may be considering the technology necessary to support you or your department's needs. Knowing which items require approval from Information Technology and which items can be purchased without going through this process is helpful when reviewing your needs.
Technology that does not connect to the network and store or transmit data that is under $500 can be purchased using a department purchasing card without Technology Acquisition approval. Some examples: mice, keyboards, USB-C hubs/adapters, cables, speakers, and laptop cases/bags. If you need an item quickly or do not want to make a purchase with your purchasing card, many of these items are kept in inventory within IT.
