Purchasing Computer Equipment

All computing equipment paid for with University funds should be approved by our office before any hardware purchases are made. We check to make sure any equipment you are considering will work within the limits of the campus network and that it will effectively meet your needs. In some cases we have access to better equipment at a lesser price. If you are planning on purchasing new computer equipment, please email Computing Services at se.computing@uci.edu with specific details about what you would like to buy, and we will advise and/or prepare an equote. All Computing Support equotes include warranties. Keep in mind all hardware purchases, must include a 4 year warranty (PC) or AppleCare+ for Education (Mac).

Turnitin.com

Turnitin.com is a web-based plagiarism prevention and detection tool. Student work is checked against a database for any matches between submitted papers and any internet content or previously submitted work. If you are an instructor considering using Turnitin, contact Jennifer Brantley for instructions on setting up an account for your class.
