Computer Leasing

Standard Leasing Agreement

The Leasing program offers a leasing option for University standard configured computers. A 36-month agreement is the available equipment leasing option. (For information about weekly laptop rental, visit our price list). This leasing option offers the following advantages:

  • Single point of contact for installation and support
  • Flexible payment plan - annual or monthly payments over length of agreement
  • Asset management - obtain a list of all leased equipment
  • Planned obsolescence - allows you to get new computers every 36 months
  • Removal and disposal of old equipment

The leasing is a closed-end agreement. The leasing fees for the equipment are to be paid each fiscal year with an option to pay on a monthly basis. Prior to the end of the 36-month agreement, a Computer Leasing representative will inform the customer of the option of leasing new equipment at the end of the term; however, all equipment will be removed at the end of the 36-month term. The equipment-leasing contract is separate from the Fee-Based Support contract and not subject to the same renewal schedule. Fee-based Support contracts are renewable on a yearly basis with cancellation on a yearly basis only.

See Available Models for machine-specific pricing.
