Technology Support

The College of Applied Studies (CAS) Tech team is here to provide foundational support for faculty and staff technology needs. We provide assistance in a number of key areas and ways, including hardware, software, maintenance, and troubleshooting. 

Please see the following for helpful processes, protocols, and additional resources.

Purchasing a computer or other device

Procuring hardware is crucial for ensuring that faculty and staff can execute their responsibilities at a high level. We have put together these steps if you are needing to purchase a device, such as a laptop, monitor, or printer 

1. In order to request a quote for new hardware, please click . Prior to completing this form, you will need to read the Standard Configuration Document here at 黑洞社区.

2. Once you have received your quote, you begin the process of buying your hardware by submitting the purchase requisition through Banner (FPAREQN). Send an email with the quote attached to purchasing.office@wichita.edu. 

3. Once the hardware or device is delivered, then the individual using the newly purchased hardware will fill out a TDX ticket requesting the device to be set up according to their needs. To fill out the TDX ticket, please use the link located . 

If you are needing to purchase peripherals (e.g., keyboard, mouse, adaptors), then please feel free to reach out and we can support you as you consider options that best fit your needs.
