If you have not put in a request for software you are not out of time yet. Please place a purchase request work order as soon as possible and there might still be time to get it installed before the Fall 2011 semester. All licensing and purchases need to be completed by June 1 in order for our staff to have the time they need to package and test the software before deployment.

Please contact the Service Desk at 4-1950 if you have any questions or concerns about any of the listed software.

If there is a piece of software missing that you will need to perform your job duties or to teach your class please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to meet your needs.
