UFV standard hardware such as laptops, desktops, docking stations and/or monitors, is requested through IT Services. Computer peripherals (ie. mouse, keyboard) for campus use may be outsourced by the department for purchase. IT Services should be consulted prior to peripheral purchase to confirm that the device is compatible with UFV standard computing equipment and/or network infrastructure.
