Updates to retiring university-managed computers for Property Surplus
We’re beginning a new process to ensure university data is securely wiped in preparation for Property Surplus.
Beginning on July 1st, we’re beginning a new retirement process for university-owned computers. Starting on the 1st, departments should contact ITS for assistance with retiring any desktop computers, laptops, or all-in-one computers that are ready for surplus.
What this means
ITS will collect the computer, securely remove university data, and prepare the device for transfer to Property Surplus. You can also drop off a computer for retirement in person at ITS’ Building 54.
For peripherals and other hardware
The process for retirement of other hardware and peripherals has not changed. Departments should continue to work directly with Property Surplus to dispose of monitors, docking stations, keyboards, mice, printers, cables, and other technology that does not store university data or contain an operating system.
To start the retirement process for a computer, contact the ITS Service Desk. We’re also able to help answer any questions you may have about a piece of hardware and the retirement process.
