Faculty/Staff Software Policies & Distribution

As a member of Western's faculty or staff, some software is available to you for installation on a university-owned computer at no cost via a university site license. This includes anti-virus and spyware software. Other software is available to you at academically discounted prices.

This software is for university use only, on university computers and remains the property of Western Washington University. Some software licenses have 'work at home use rights' which vary by vendor. Software with work at home rights include Microsoft Office, Adobe software, Thomson Reuters EndNote, SPSS and anti-virus software. They are not for personal use, but for work at home.
