The following software has been provided by our vendors for temporary student use from home during the current period of campus closure. We realize not all students have the capacity on their personal computers to run some of these software packages. IT Services is working on additional solutions to allow students remote access to campus computers for Engineering and GIS software. Please communicate to your faculty if you do not have the ability to run certain software on your computer.
