User Services understands that buying a computer can be stressful. This portion of the site is designed to assist you with computer purchasing and hopefully take the stress out of finding the perfect computer for your child. If you have any questions please give us a call at 601-974-1144.

Windows - The systems that are offered on the Millsaps Dell site are current systems designed to last the duration of your tenure at Millsaps. The computers come with Vista preinstalled, as all new PCs do after Microsoft’s decision to discontinue Windows XP, and are built with that in mind. The intent of the Millsaps Dell site is to provide students with viable computer options that will last the duration of their Millsaps tenure with minimal upgrades and repairs.

If you have questions about the systems, we recommend that you speak directly with a Dell representative. Dell reps are available to assist students and their families with personal purchases and are capable of offering better ideas and advice on what to purchase from their catalogue based on your specific needs. To speak with a Dell rep, call 1.888.987.3355 and be sure to identify yourself as a Millsaps parent with the member ID number US15151048. To view these computer options online, please visit www.dell.com/millsaps.

Also, please keep in mind that Millsaps College provides anti-virus software and the Microsoft Office 2007 Suite upon students’ arrival in the fall, so there is no need to purchase this software prior to moving in. However, if students intend to use their computers online before coming to campus, we highly recommend acquiring anti-virus protection; you may want to consider getting a short-term subscription from services such as McAfee.


Macintosh - To view purchase options through the Apple store, please visit http://store.apple.com/us-hed?mco=MTAwMDA.
