When should I buy?

SCI 2009-2010

The SCI store is open!

The SCI store is open for the 2009-10 academic year from June 9, 2009 until June 1, 2010. SCI computers may be ordered at anytime while the store is open.

IMPORTANT: Due to the release of Snow Leopard (10.6), Apple Computer's newest version of the operating system for Macintosh computers, shipping of new SCI Macintosh orders will be delayed until after September 18. This will allow time to convert the SCI software suite to be upgraded to the Snow Leopard operating system. 

SCI computers may only be shipped to addresses in the 50 states. If you live in a US territory or have an international address you will need to wait until you are at Princeton.

While the majority of SCI computers arrive in about two weeks, normal shipping time is 2-6 weeks. 

All full-time Princeton students are eligible to purchase an SCI computer for as long as they are actively enrolled. Students aren't limited to 1 SCI computer. To be enabled to order a second SCI computer please call or e-mail the OIT Help Desk, 609-258-4357(HELP) or sci@princeton.edu. Financial aid or loans may only be used once.

Students participating in the Bridge Year program are strongly encouraged not to purchase a computer at this time. If you are a Bridge Year participant and have questions about purchasing a computer please call the Help Desk at 258-4769 (HELP).
