Towson University 150 Years 

Office of Technology Services Computer Trade-Up Program

To ensure university faculty and staff have the technology resources needed to do their work, the university attempts to replace outdated computers with current models, subject to availability of funds. The Trade-Up Program covers a faculty or staff member's "primary computer" only. Other terms and conditions apply and this wizard will help determine eligibility. Departmental or other funding is needed if the computer falls outside of the scope of the Trade-Up Program. Systems currently targeted for replacement include:
  • Windows Desktop Computers: Dell Optiplex 9010, 9020, 7040, 7050 models or computers purchased in 2017 or earlier.
  • Windows Laptop Computers: Dell Latitude EXX30, EXX40, XX50, XX70, XX80 models or computers purchased in 2017 or earlier
  • Mac Computers: All Macs purchased in 2015 or earlier.

Delivery delays expected

Computer manufacturers are reporting global backlogs of orders and shipping delays for computer orders including monitors, docks, and other accessories.  Questions? Contact us.


Providing qualification information using this web-based service does not constitute placing an order, so please do not expect a new computer to arrive the day after you click "Submit!" This is a planning tool only and is designed to help determine whether your computer qualifies. When computers become available, we will work with each department to coordinate purchase, delivery, installation, and setup.
