Purchasing

Colorado College partners with Dell and Apple for computer purchasing. Because of those partnerships, the College receives discounted prices both for College purchases and when CC staff or students buy personally owned computers from either vendor.

Because of our licensing agreement with Microsoft, current employees may purchase copies of Microsoft Office through the Home Use Program. Please contact the Help Desk (x6449, HelpDesk@ColoradoCollege.edu) for Colorado College's Program Code.

Please see our page on buying equipment which will be owned by Colorado College if you are interested in making such a purchase, or our page on making a personal purchase using CC's discount.
