District Standards PC/Laptop/Printers

To ensure reliable performance, compatibility, and efficient technical support, Merced College has established District Technology Standards for computers, printers, and accessories. These standards are designed to provide the campus community with consistent, secure, and supportable technology that meets the needs of both faculty and staff.

Why We Follow Standards

Adhering to District Standards helps maintain a stable and secure computing environment across the college. Standardized equipment:

Ensures compatibility with campus systems and software
Streamlines setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting by IT staff
Helps manage costs and simplify replacement or upgrade cycles
Allows for faster, more efficient support from technicians

By purchasing approved standard equipment, departments help the college maintain a sustainable and supportable technology ecosystem.
