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 CSUBuys:
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.

Request Survey for Disposal/Campus Surplus

To streamline the disposal process, ITS has partnered with property and surplus to ensure all computers will be wiped of any Cal Poly data and properly removed from our systems once they arrive at campus surplus. For computers 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.
