How To Procure Equipment

Contact Client Care with the request to purchase UTORcsi standard hardware including desktops, monitors, laptops and printers.

Client Care will review and recommend a quote based on your computing hardware requirements within uSOURCE.

Forward the quote to your manager for approval.

Once approved, place the order through your Department Business Officer.

Telecommunications

Most departments and faculties have a designated individual who handles telephone requests for that department. Requests for service should be processed by the depart­ment telephone co-coordinator who will then send the request to Telecommunications. When requesting service, please describe changes you are requesting in detail. If you have questions, contact Telecommunications. Please visit www.telecomservices.utoronto.ca for information on:

  • purchase of telephone sets
  • billing information
  • voice mail instructions
