Software Standards
 
Now that you have decided on which computer to buy, you need to make sure you have the
necessary software to accomplish your tasks. Depending on which platform (Mac or PC) you
have ordered, and what software you already have on your old machine, some software will
be included on your new machine when it is delivered. This document will explain those
inclusions, as well as other options you will have.
The Chancellor's Office has negotiated a system-wide license for selected Microsoft

Configuration" suite of Microsoft software. The suite includes any of the following:
