Software Requests

Summer and Fall Software Requests Now Open (Mar. 15)

As we begin looking ahead to the Summer and Fall terms, it is an important time to be considering what software you will need in classrooms and labs for your courses. All classroom and lab computers will come prepared with standard items such Microsoft office, web browsers, Teams/Zoom, and the Horizon VMWare client. However, if you require more specialized software for your courses in CAS, PSOB, SON, or SOED, this will need to be requested via our Software Request form by the end of the day on Friday, March 15.

Software Request Form

Note: If you are teaching within the School of Engineering, you will receive a separate form—keep an eye out in your inbox for information regarding these requests.

Summer and Fall Software Requests (Due Mar. 17)

As we approach the midpoint of the Spring term, it is time to think about your Summer and Fall term software needs so that they can be included in our new classroom builds. Items included on the 2022–2023 school year builds will NOT be automatically included—with the exception of internet browsers, Microsoft Office, Kaltura, Teams, Zoom, and Ladibug.

To place your requests, please use our Software Request Form. The deadline for these submissions is 4 p.m. on Friday, March 17. 

Note: Software requests for the School of Engineering will be handled through a separate process, with information to come soon.

If you have any additional software you will need for your Spring courses that were not already made available for the Fall, please fill out our Software Request Form by the end of the day on Tuesday, November 22.
