What if I need software that’s not installed?

Because of concerns about security and license management, the computer lab does not generally install software provided by students. If the software is required for a class, the instructor normally provides the software to the Information Technology Help Desk to install on lab computers before the start of the semester. Check with the instructor about whether the software will be made available through the lab or through an alternative resource.

Students may also check the list of available software on the Virtual Computer Labs site to see if the software they need is available there. In addition, they have the option of seeing if the software is available for download or purchase for use on their personal computer through the University Software Portal.
