These include Microsoft Office (for Windows or Macintosh), Filemaker Pro, your choice of email client, and Mcafee Virus Scan (Windows) or Virex (Macintosh). Others are available at academic discounts as follows (pricing does change, so use these as general guidelines). In general, a department would purchase a license via an i.d., and a CSG staff member will install the software requested. Installation media (CD) is available at an extra charge to the license fee.

The SU Bookstore carries shrink-wrapped software complete with install media and manuals for purchase as well. Academic identification required. Please contact the SU Bookstore for more information.
