1.) All Adobe Products
Almost all Adobe products are subscription only. Academic licenses begin at $20/month: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html
2.) ArcGIS
IT can handle special requests for occasional research students: the complexities of licensing ESRI products make it infeasible to do on a class-wide basis. ArcGIS Online is a lower end program that is site licensed and much easier to handle: https://www.arcgis.com/index.html
3.) ChemDraw
Create a Perkin Elmer account at https://www.cambridgesoft.com/register/Default.aspx to access
4.) Eviews / Matlab / Stata
Faculty must purchase an individual license if they wish to use this program in research, including student research projects.
5.) Mathematica
Download via https://www.wolfram.com/siteinfo
6.) MS Office / OneDrive
Faculty and staff can access Microsoft 365 online through the MS Office365 login.
Students can access and install Microsoft 365 through the Student Microsoft 365 page.
