In certain instances when leaving the University's employment, individuals express a desire to take their University device with them. In these cases, the following device buy-out process must be followed:
Step 1: Get the device evaluated
- Submit a General Hardware Support request with the device details (Asset Name or Serial Number) and IT Services will provide a residual value for the device.
Step 2: Complete and submit a disposal form
Step 3: Pay
Acceptable methods of payment:
- E-transfer to aretransfers@uwindsor.ca. If by e-transfer, a remittance notification email needs to be sent to eftpmt@uwindsor.ca detailing the nature of the payment that has been sent.
- Debit or credit card, to be completed in person at the Accounts Receivable office.
- Certified personal cheque or bank draft.
Step 4: Get the device wiped and reset
- Bring the device to the IT Service Desk (lower level of UCC) to be wiped.
- Once wiped, the new owner will need to take the device somewhere to purchase and install a copy of Windows on it.
- In addition, please note all University software licenses will be removed from the device when it is wiped. Retirees can review which online services are available to them here.
