FY10 UAF Desktop Tech Refresh Program

FY10 Funds are now available

The Tech Refresh program allows for a 50% subsidy on the purchase price of a new computer (up to $350.00). Upon approval, your department will pay the full purchase price of a new computer, and the OIT Business Office will reimburse your department for the appropriate amount via journal voucher (JV). When utilizing Tech Refresh, old department computers are given to OIT for disposal or redeployment. The Tech Refresh program is available to all UAF faculty and staff, and is managed by the OIT Business Office .
