Missouri State University works with vendors to provide discounts on Dell and Macintosh computers. These discounts apply to any student, faculty or staff member purchasing a computer for personal use.
Dell Computers
Missouri State has partnered with Dell to provide computers at a discount price: Students, faculty and staff can purchase Dell computers any day of the year and receive a discount. See the Dell Student/Employee Site site for current pricing (please be sure to read the "Helpful Hints" section below). This discount is promoted during Student Orientation and Registration (SOAR). Use one of these methods to select and purchase your computer:Online Orders
Online orders can be placed at the Dell Student/Employee Site site.Please note that computers listed in the "Recommended Bundles" do not come with the Microsoft Office Productivity suite. It is offered as an option on computers in the "Full Catalog". A license/disk combo for this suite is available at the Missouri State Bookstore at a discounted price that is much less than the computer configuration option. The Missouri State Bookstore can help you with your Dell purchases The Missouri State Bookstore can help you get to the Dell Student/Employee Site site to order your computer online and help you with options.

3. Be patient. Dell runs many weekly specials such as free shipping or double memory. Sometimes they run a free monitor upgrade. Waiting an extra week can be profitable for you.
4. Microsoft Office is not a default option for our Dell or Macintosh computers. A license/disk combo is available at the Missouri State Bookstore at a heavily-discounted price:
