Philadelphia University offers a computer purchase program through payroll deduction. This program offers no-interest loans to employees for the acquisition of computers.

Computer Purchase Program

The definition of computer includes one of the following: a desktop computer with monitor, or laptop computer, or iPad, AND a printer.

Accessories such as: covers, skins, cases, bags, flash drives, printer cartridges, or an extended warranty related to and purchased with the computer may be included in the computer purchase program.

Full-time faculty, full and part-time administrators and staff are eligible for this program. This program allows for one computer (as defined above) plus accessories to be financed at one time through the loan program.
