Store Information

What We Do
The purpose of the University Center Computer Store is to provide computer products and services as inexpensively as possible to the students, staff, faculty, and departments of The University of Tennessee. We have over 10,000 computer products available, including academically priced hardware from Apple, Lenovo Thinkpad, Hewlett-Packard, Epson, and Dell. We also have the best selection of Apple hardware and software in Knoxville.

We service computers, troubleshooting hardware and software, doing minor repairs and upgrades. And, we facilitate warranty service for the manufacturers we sell. This means you don't have to wait around for technical assistance, we can handle the calls and service for you. We are also an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Who We Are
The UC Computer Store is a part of the UT Book & Supply Store, and our surplus revenues help support the operation of the University Center and the Aquatic Center. Most of our employees are also students, so they have a very good idea of what a student's computing needs are. Our staff is knowledgeable in both Apple and Windows platforms, earns no commissions, and has no incentives to recommend a specific manufacturer or size of system.

Getting What You Need
The easiest way to get your new computer and all the software you need is to visit the store while you are on campus. Bring your new UT ID card to the University Center Computer Store, and we'll assist you in selecting the best computer to meet your needs. If we don't have what you need in stock, you can place an order.
