Microsoft Campus Agreement Distribution Information

Office XP will be loaded on the local area network for on-campus machines.

With the Microsoft licensing, Sam Houston State University Department of Information Technology can now provide copies of Microsoft Office to University staff and faculty for departmental laptops, standalone computers, and home computers.

The CDs for installing Microsoft Office may be picked up at the Information Technology Helpdesk window in the AB1 144 computer lab.
 

Before you pick up your copy:

• Please read the Work at Home licensing restrictions.
• Please fill out the online Software Request Form. This form will email your name, contact information and software request to the Helpdesk. They will then contact you to checkout your software when it becomes available.

When you come, tell the Helpdesk Rep:

• Bring your valid University Staff or Faculty I.D. card. Due to licensing requirements, we MUST see this before we can give you your copy.
• If you will need the PC version or the Macintosh version.
• If you will need this for home, work or both.
