INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STANDARD SOFTWARE

Software Standards

The Information Technology Center requires standard software applications for the university computers. Software and hardware standards are vital to providing quality customer service to the faculty, staff, and students of the university. The Information Technology Training Center only provides technical support and training for the standard software applications and acceptable applications. The list of acceptable software should be reviewed before purchasing software. These standards will help university faculty, staff, and students stay in compliance with the Information Technology Acceptable and Unacceptable Software Applications Policy and help ban unlicensed or nonstandard software.
