Technology Purchasing

For security and compliance, all technology hardware & software purchases must be approved by Information Technology Services (ITS), except for pre-selected items available through the Workday Supplier Website. This ensures that all of LMU’s technology meets our minimum security and performance requirements.  

For a smooth purchasing process, it is advised to discuss all purchases in advance with the appropriate department authority—typically your RMP Coordinator or Budget Manager—who is authorized to make purchases on behalf of the department.  

Purchasing Contact

Please see the FAQs below. If you have additional questions about what technology items can be purchased without ITS, the ITS request forms, or Workday purchase requests, contact the ITS Administration team at: 

  • To replace your RMP Computer, visit to the RMP Computer Replacement Form HERE.   

    • If your computer is eligible for replacement, it will appear in the “Which system needs to be replaced” field. You can then submit a request for your new replacement computer. 
    • If no computers are listed for you, please contact your RMP Coordinator to verify your RMP status or request that your computer be released. 

    For more information regarding LMU’s RMP program, visit our Resource Management Plan and RMP FAQs sites.  

    • Computers can be ordered using the New Computer Purchase form. This form should be used for brand-new computer purchases (not for computer replacements.)
    • iPads and tablets can be ordered using the Order Hardware form.
    • Printers are items that require an ITS consultation and approval, though once obtained, can be purchased directly by departments. ITS needs to ensure that the printer requested meets the needs of the department and is compatible with our environment. You can request a printer evaluation using the Printer Request Form. 
    • Adapter cables, mice, keyboards 
    • External hard drives, USB drives 
    • Monitors 
    • Printer toner cartridges 
    • Paper 

    You can make these purchases by creating a requisition by logging into Workday, selecting ‘Purchasing’ from the menu, and following the ‘Connect to Supplier Website’ workflow.  More detailed instructions can be found HERE. If you are unsure whether the items you select are compatible with our work environment, please contact the ITS Service Desk.

  • ITS will evaluate each request for compatibility within the environment as well as verify current software licensing contracts to prevent the purchase of unnecessary licenses. Please allow a minimum of two weeks to complete the process. Licenses can only be installed on university-owned computers.  

    • Lab Computer Software may be requested using the Order Software form 
    • Faculty and Staff Software may be requested using the Order Software form [NOTE: Faculty using the Faculty Software Allowance (FSA), may proceed after ITS approval with the software purchase and request reimbursement through an Expense Report in Workday. For instructions on submitting an Expense Report click HERE. For more information on FSA, click HERE.] 
    • Software for Personal Computers may be available for Faculty, Staff & Students. For a list of software that can be installed on your home computer(s), refer to the following:
