Hardware repair

We urge you to contact the ITS-Med Help Desk at 785-3200 to speak to someone about your specific computing needs should they fall significantly above or below our current recommendations. Our support agreements are contingent on your hardware decisions and we are glad to discuss your specific circumstances in advance.

Ordering Supplies

If you have a university account (e.g., for a grant) to which you can charge purchases, you may buy computer paper and disks from the Medical Stockroom in the Sterling Hall of Medicine or order other supplies and software from the Microcomputer Support Center at Medicine. They offer a wide variety of software and computer supplies at very low prices.

If you do not have a university account, you can go to the Microcomputer Support Center Software & Supply Counter at 175 Whitney Avenue on the main campus (432-6621) to buy discounted software or supplies. Both locations offer the same prices and products.
