University & IPPP Provided Devices
The university can only provide 1 device per student or staff member; we currently recommend the use of a laptop. All desks should have a monitor with a HDMI or USB-C connection available.
Upon receiving a device, you are accepting that you will return the device upon leaving the university.
Please note there may be long lead times for some devices, we will advise you at the time if there are known supply issues for the device you’ve requested.
