Many instructors have found it useful to have software and data files installed on our network servers for their students to use. Technology Solutions will work with faculty and departments to make such arrangements.
After reviewing What software is available in the classrooms and computer labs? and What software is available through Virtual Computer Lab?, you must submit your software installation request for any other software before the deadline and provide all the required information.
If you need software installed in a computer lab or classroom for a one-time purpose (for example, for a 2-day seminar), then the software and request should be submitted no less than 4 weeks prior to the first lab reservation for that class. The software will be removed once the event is over.
An email will be sent to you once the software is installed; you must then test the software to ensure everything is working as expected for class. Support for the software is the responsibility of the instructor or department who requested that the software be installed. Proof of purchase and/or license must be provided for as many copies as will be needed for the students in the class. We will not install software without appropriate proof of license(s), even for free software. A link to the license statement should be sufficient to satisfy the license requirement for free software.
Although Technology Solutions will make a reasonable effort to get all software packages to work, we are not able to guarantee that they will. Some packages may not function because of the network or computer lab/classroom setup. Additionaly, if your chosen software does not have a silent installation method, we are not able to support it. Technology Solutions cannot be held responsible for software that does not work by class time.
At the end of the semester, all class files and software will be removed. Software must be requested every semester.
