University Life Operations & Planning

Computer Ordering Process

This process is intended to assist in the ordering of computer equipment from CDWG. To this end we have created a custom page with common computer systems already approved for use at Mason. University Life and Auxiliary Enterprises have partnered to create a custom page for computer ordering. We have bundled common items together to ease in the ordering process.

CDWG is an approved vendor for computer orders with many options for computer configuration.

Create Account

If you do not already have an account with CDWG, you may be required to create one. Please follow their instructions to create an account so you will be able to create the needed quotes for eVA.

To create a CDWG price quote without the help of a sales representative, you will need to create a CDWG account.  If you do not see a “Quote” button in your shopping cart, you need to call CDWG and request that your newly-created CDWG account is linked to GMU’s organization account.
