Not all versions of the software will be available. Check with Media Services for specific versions and compatibility notes with your operating system (e.g. Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, etc.).

Notice about Microsoft Office: For a moderate fee, installation media for Microsoft Office software may be purchased for you to use at home. The Microsoft Office Campus Agreement (commonly referred to as the Microsoft site license) states that Microsoft Office may only be used for college work done at home. The license does not cover personal use of the software at home. It is a "work at home" right (or privilege) and is not a personal license. If you want to use the software for personal purposes, such as children's homework or family Christmas letters, then you must purchase your own license. See the Microsoft Office Home Use Information page for further information.

Hardware:
Hardware services are no longer provided by the college for personal equipment. However, the Hardware Services Manager in ITS may provide you some assistance with diagnosing the problem. This will help you know a little more about the nature of your problem as you look for service from other local computer service businesses.
