How to Order From This Site

Welcome to the CDW-G Premium Page for Pepperdine University! This site will provide you with the ability to purchase university computer equipment and accessories for your team, department, or your school.

If you need help placing an order, please contact Tech Central at (310) 506-4357 for assistance.

STEP 1 - Request a CDW-G Account

To make a purchase, you first need to request an official Pepperdine CDW-G account by filling out the Computer and Accessories Procurement Request form. Once your account has been created, you will receive an email with your login credentials from Pepperdine’s CDW-G representative, Tyler Warren.

Please note: do NOT create a personal account using the CDW-G website. A self-made account will not be associated with the Pepperdine organization and will not have our educational discounts and other benefits. So, please do not create your own account, fill out our form instead.

 

STEP 2 - Place an Order

Once you have your account credentials, please log in by clicking the “Sign-In” button in the upper right corner of this page.

Locate the navigation panel on the left-hand side of this page. You will see Pepperdine IT recommended options like:

• "Featured Dell"
• "Featured Apple"
• "Computer Monitors and Displays"
• “Additional Accessories”

When searching for a unique or specific product, use the search bar at the top of the page.

Place an order by selecting “Add to Cart” for each item you wish to purchase. Once your cart is full, select “Checkout” to purchase. Or select “Quote” to save your cart if you are not ready to purchase or plan to request a purchase order.

If you have any questions or need purchasing advice, please speak with your school or department's technical support group or call Tech Central at (310) 506-4357 for assistance.

 

STEP 3 - Fill Out Order Form

Once you are in “Checkout” and are ready to buy with a credit card, please fill out the following information.

Shipping Address

• If you saved your preferred address, it will display by default.
  
  
• If another Pepperdine address displays or you need to specify the person receiving the equipment at the existing address, choose "Edit" and/or "Change Saved Shipping Address."
  
  
  1. When changing a saved address, choose the campus from the drop-down menu (e.g. West LA, Irvine, Malibu, etc.) and select "Edit." Important: Add the recipient's name in the "Recipient Contact Information" boxes. Failure to specify the recipient will result in significant delivery delays.
  
  
  2. If the address is for a remote worker or a non-Pepperdine campus location, select "New Shipping Address" and enter the appropriate details. Note: Do not save the address because it will be saved for everyone at Pepperdine, not your personal address book. You would add a personal address through your account preferences (see the section "Pepperdine CDW-G Accounts" and "First-time Tips: Set your delivery address and payment").


• Select "Continue" when ready.

Shipping Method

• Select the Delivery method. Barring an emergency, choose the free option. For any expedited shipping, you must get approval from your supervisor or your department/school's Major Area Budget Manager.
  
  
• Remember, products with shipping lead times (e.g. 4-6+ days) or that are back ordered will not ship faster with next-day shipping options.
  
  
• Select "Continue" when ready.

Billing and Payment

• Choose the Billing Address. Most Pepperdine credit card holders will choose the Accounts Payable Malibu address (e.g. 24255 Pacific Coast Hwy, attn: ADP Accounts Payable, etc.) even if they work at another campus or remotely.
  
  
• For Payment Method, most will select "New Credit/Debit Card" and enter their Pepperdine University credit card information. If you saved your payment method in your personal preferences, you may choose "Saved Payment Methods" and select your personal payment option. (Please do not choose another person's method if they mistakenly saved their card for the entire organization rather than personal.)
  
  
• Do not store payment methods through the Checkout process! Any payment saved during Checkout will be available to all Pepperdine University CDW-G users, not just you. If you want to save a personal payment method, you will do so in advance through your account preferences(see the section "Pepperdine CDW-G Accounts" and "First-time Tips: Set your delivery address and payment").
  
  
• In the Billing section, the "Additional Details" are meant for Purchase Orders and can be skipped.
  
  
• Select "Continue" when ready.

Additional Information

• (Optional) You may enter the Quote/Order source information if desired.
• Select "Review Your Order" when ready.

Review Your Order Summary

• Verify correct shipping, billing, and payment information.
  
  
• Please do not select the box to save your order details for future purchases. Instead, you may enter a personal address and payment method via your account preferences (see the section "Pepperdine CDW-G Accounts" and "First-time Tips: Set your delivery address and payment").
  
  
• To make changes, select "Edit" next to the appropriate section.
  
  
• When ready, select "Place Order" to complete the purchase.
