Technology Purchasing Standards

All hardware/software requisitions are to be ordered under the campus/department T approval group number in eFinance. This is to ensure that items are properly vetted for appropriate use, privacy concerns, etc. before purchase. Items such as toner and adapters are considered to be supplies and do not need to be entered under the T approval group number.

Software purchases should be completed under the guidance of department, campus, or curriculum leaders and in conjunction with Instructional Technology. For assistance with vetting software before purchase, please put in a HelpDesk at helpdesk.nisdtx.org.
