Faculty, staff, and students can get a discount on personal devices through either the Dell Member Purchase Program (only Dell products) or through Connection (contract pricing on Dell, Apple, and other products).

Dell Member Purchase Program

The Dell Member Purchase Program offers discounts to the UConn community on personal computer purchases. Anyone with a UConn email address qualifies.

This program is for personal, non-work devices. The devices cannot be purchased and then claimed as university expenses. If you are an employee who needs a university-issued device, please use HuskyBuy or contact your department. If you have questions, please contact the Technology Support Center.
