Personal Technology Purchases

Educational Computer Purchasing for Students and Employees

Andrews University offers students, faculty, and staff specialized computer discounts through two vendors: Dell and Apple. Discounts vary by model, available promotions, and other factors; there is no set discount rate. Purchases made through this program are strictly between the buyer and the vendor. Andrews University ITS offers only very limited support to personal computers on campus.
