Computer and Peripheral (Lifecycle) Ordering Guidelines & Proper Disposal

All computer equipment and peripheral purchases must be requested through approved vendors and utilize ITS-recommended models and specs:

• View Recommended Computer Models

• View Recommended Peripherals

All computer equipment purchases must go through an approved vendor on either CSUBuys or through the Procurement requisition process:
Order Recommended Computers and Peripherals

Computer equipment and peripherals must be delivered to the office of the person who procures it.

It is the responsibility of the procurer to communicate with the Property Office at property-accounting@calpoly.edu to arrange tagging of computers.

Once tagged, please create an ITS support ticket via the portal and your support team will help guide you through the process to get the computer set up.

Computers and peripherals that can no longer be supported by ITS must be disposed of properly.

Wipe Data Before Disposal

ITS can assist with wiping the data off the computer, you may create an ITS support ticket via the portal and your support team will arrange data disposition.
You must submit a property survey request for the computer(s) (see below for guidance with your request) which can be picked up by Facilities.  

Request Survey for Disposal/Campus Surplus

For computer assets needing disposal, your department will need to:

1. Submit the “Request for Survey” form found on the Property-Accounting site: https://afd.calpoly.edu/accounting-reporting/forms

2. Once completed, “the Requester” will receive an email confirmation.

3. The Requester will find the confirmation as a “Disposal Bill of Lading” in their completed file within Adobe Sign.

4. Print that document, collect all assets in the request, then contact Surplus and schedule a time for pickup.
