2008 Apple Special Purchase
Overview
The Chancellor’s Office has partnered with Apple to coordinate a CSU-wide bulk purchase of Apple products. Apple is discounting their products above and beyond the current higher education discount. This is a tremendous opportunity for the campus (Foundation and Auxiliaries are included!)to purchase Apple computers at substantial discounts not normally available..
How to Order
However, while this is very good news for campus units, it does mean that User Services will again be backlogged while we try to procure and deploy computers for the Campus Computer Refresh (CCR) program as well as the new Student Services Center.
1. Download and Fillout Spreadsheet
If you would like to take advantage of this pricing you will need to download and fill out the spreadsheet below. The spreadsheet will require a department approving official for the budget transfer that will be initiated later from the Chancellor’s office. They will also supply the ordering documents to the Procurement Officers for coordination with our receiving department for the different department orders.

2. E-mail Spreadsheet to Chancellors office and User Services
Once completed, you will need to email it back to Linda Masterton (lmasterton@calstate.edu) at the chancellor's office as well as cc'ing Mark Lewkowicz (mlewkowicz@csuchico.edu) at User Services. You must include Mark in your email to the Chancellor’s office so that User Services can track all the orders when they arrive on campus.
Some details you need to be aware of:
- The Apple computers purchased must be selected from the choices in the spreadsheet—no alternate configurations are allowed.
- The deadline for the order is April 25th.
