Lab Software Request Process
Computer labs with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems are available throughout the campus, providing an extensive range of software titles. Faculty can request supplementary software to be added for student assignments and projects by following the procedure outlined below.
Step 1: Confirm Licensing & Software Requirements
- Ensure there are enough software licenses for all of the computers in the lab where you will be teaching.
- Work with your department or procurement services to obtain this information.
- Confirm the following software requirements:
- The software is supported on available computer lab operating systems.
- The software does not require administrator or root access to run.
- The software is not demo, beta, or otherwise unreleased.
- The software does not require distinct license codes or serial numbers for each installation. Contact us for special server licenses.
Step 2: Submit Lab Software Request Form
- Submit the Additional Computer Lab Software . Include the following as attachments:
- Documentation stating the number of licenses available (an invoice with the number of licenses purchased or a formal licensing agreement with the number of licenses included).
- Documentation stating if the software is being used elsewhere on campus, and if so, how many licenses currently remain for installation in computer labs.
- A copy of the software licensing agreement
(a formal contract, a printed licensing agreement provided with the software media, or even a click-through license that you must accept when installing the software).
Note: Refer to the Lab Software Request Form Deadline information to determine when to submit your request for semester availability.
