Fall Semester Software Requests

Believe it or not, we are over a month into 2013. It's amazing how fast time flies. With that in mind, the fall semester is fast approaching. If you know you will need special software for the upcoming fall semester please let us know as soon as possible.

To ensure adequate time for installation and testing of new network software, the requests must be received, licensing in place, and the software delivered to IT@Sam by June 1, 2013. However, the sooner, the better! A significant level of testing is needed to assure the application will not impact other programs---and that your students can access it as you intended. After it is installed you will be notified and asked to test the software. Therefore, please leave sufficient time for installation and your testing phase.
