If you decide to purchase during Summer Welcome, you can order your laptop on Day One, then pick it up on Day Two. After pickup, visit the Tech Stop to get it set up with all your Mizzou technology resources. At the Tech Stop, the student will sit down with a technician for 3-40 minutes; walk in any time from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Computer Purchase Plan allows eligible students to spread the cost of a computer over four payments (semesters). The first payment is charged to your University of Missouri student account in the following thirty days after you receive your computer. The remaining payments are billed in subsequent December and June billing cycles. The administrative fee is a simple 7.8 percent of the purchase price, which is a one-time charge added to your total; there is no accruing interest.
