Software Standards

The table below lists the software currently supported by ITS. The applications in bold are part of the University's standard computer images and are licensed and fully supported by ITS. Please be aware that for applications not part of the standard image, the Help Desk can troubleshoot basic installation and compatibility issues and will make a best-effort to support specific functional needs. We may not be able to support more complex software-specific requirements and problems due to the specialized nature of the software. We strongly encourage faculty and staff to contact the Center for Instructional Technology (CIT) for any training that may be required for effective use of the software.
