The Campus iStore was developed by the Department of Information Technology to help students, parents, faculty, staff select and purchase personal computers and software at educational discount rates from College-approved vendors. The Campus iStore does not carry any computers in stock, we only assist with computer purchasing decisions and process.

The Campus iStore's recommended systems have been approved by our Information Technology professionals to be ready to use on our student residential network (ResNet) and meet the expected computing needs of students for four years. The systems we recommend are the same models Saint Mary's College buys for our faculty and staff - we follow our own recommendations.

We recommend that incoming students wait to purchase a computer for College until after the Saint Mary’s College Summer Orientation sessions in June so you have an opportunity to learn more about our recommendations and be able to take advantage of special "Back to School" sales our vendors offer.

If you would like to speak to a Campus iStore Consultant, please give us a call at 574-284-4466. You can also contact us via e-mail at istore@saintmarys.edu. We are available to assist you Monday through Friday, 9:00am - 5:00pm.
