The Computer Depot will install Office on all new Macintosh and
Windows systems purchased by departments. Computing
and Information Technology is working with Microsoft to develop
convenient methods for distributing Office, Windows operating system
upgrades, and other covered software. Work-at-home installations will
always require purchase of inexpensive work-at-home media, also
available from The Computer Depot.
If you are considering installing or upgrading covered software, please consult with your department's or college's information technology support team, if you have one. Upgrade policies and practices will be at the discretion of each college or department. In particular, Windows operating system installations and upgrades should not be attempted without sufficient knowledge and experience. When you are ready to go ahead, please ask your department's or college's IT personnel to contact The Computer Depot to obtain access to the software.
This year (FY 2006), central funding will cover the difference between payments from previously participating units and the whole campus. The University's experience will be reviewed prior to our FY 2007 renewal date, and a decision will be made whether to continue the full Campus Agreement as well as how it will be funded.
Most students' computers are not covered by the University Campus Agreement in FY 2006. The School of Business Administration and the College of Medicine do fund Campus Agreement for their students. Other students are eligible for discounts under Microsoft's Select Agreement.
For more details, please see our Frequently Asked
Questions.
