Where Can I Get Software?

Current UVM students, faculty, and staff have access to our UVM Software Download Site.  This page contains links to most free or site-licensed and ETS-supported software installer packages.  Additional installation and configuration documentation links are provided on that site.  Owing to distribution and licensing issues, not all software packages can be made available in the download library.  For information on these and other volume-licensed applications, see the UVM Software Licensing Pages.

Microsoft Software:  Faculty and staff are eligible to use popular Microsoft software at little or no charge to their departments.The Microsoft Campus Agreement program provides the latest releases of Windows, Office, and other software for all University-owned computers at no charge, and inexpensively for faculty and staff working at home.  And students can purchase with substantial discounts through the Microsoft Select Program. 

Please refer to our list of recommended and supported software when planning for software purchases.  Most recommended software may be purchased from the UVM Bookstore or the Computer Depot at special educational prices. 

Computing software support standards for UVM are established by the IT Standards Committee.

Software Support Resources

UVM Help Line

Support for ETS-recommended software is available though the ETS Help Line.  Help Line staff members will attempt to answer your questions over the telephone.  For more complex problems, they will create a "problem ticket", and the issue will be assigned to a higher-level support staff member.

CTL Doctor Is In Program

The Center for Teaching and Learning provides one-on-one support for faculty in the use of classroom technologies.  Help is available by appointment or during scheduled hours.

Business School Computing Help

The School of Business has computer requirements and services which differ from the UVM standard.  This site details those differences and provides help resources.

Medical School Information Systems 

The College of Medicine hosts their own Information Systems department.  Questions regarding software and services provided by the College of Medicine should be directed to their help desk at 656-7300

Other Software Resources

Anti-virus Software

An unfortunate necessity for computer usage on the Internet today is anti-virus software.  New viruses appear daily.  Some of these viruses are common enough to warrant special attention and documentation. Virus protection software is licensed by, and available from, ETS for your use at UVM.  Don't lose valuable information and hard work by not having the latest protection software.
