Buying Hardware at UC San Diego

Find out how to purchase new computer hardware as a student or if you do not have access to IT/desktop support services. 

UC San Diego Bookstore

The UC San Diego Bookstore offers a large selection of computer hardware for sale to students, faculty, staff, and the general public. They may even offer seasonal discounts to students purchasing computer hardware for personal/school use.

NOTE! Student staff should never purchase hardware from the Bookstore for work purposes. They should request new hardware through their supervisor or manager.

The Bookstore accepts a variety of payment methods, including Oracle Chart Strings, P-Cards, as well as personal funds such as credit cards.

Please consult with your IT/desktop support team, if you have one, before purchasing any computer hardware from the Bookstore. Your IT/desktop support team can provide additional information or guidance for your specific situation and may even assist with the purchase.

Check out the Bookstore website, or visit them at the the Price Center (map), below Target.
