Computer Purchasing

The Office of Campus Computing maintains a set of standard computer hardware and software configurations for USF St. Petersburg. Computer purchases that fall within these standards can be made through the USF Computer Store. The USF Computer Store provides access to major computer brands, licensed software, printer supplies and more.

The University of South Florida System also offers numerous promotional purchasing partnerships and employee perks for computers, software, and telephony products. The Employee Perks Program is offered by the Division of Human Resources at USF.

After purchasing and receiving a new computer, please submit a service request to have it configured or set up. As part of this service request, our Help Desk staff will install a combination of software packages that will facilitate the use of the new computer depending on its operating environment (office, conference room, mobile, etc.).
