What is Included for University-Owned Computers?

Every university-owned computer is eligible for

• Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus or Microsoft Office Enterprise for Windows
• Microsoft Office 2008 for Macintosh computers
• Microsoft Windows Operating System - currently Windows XP is the campus standard. Windows 7 is becoming available on new computers, but there is no compelling reason to upgrade existing Windows XP operating systems at this time.

To request installation of Microsoft Office 2010 for Windows or Microsoft Office 2008 for Macintosh, email ATUS Software Services.

 

What is Included for Computers Owned by Faculty or Staff?

Microsoft Office Home Use Program

The Microsoft Campus Agreement includes a new Home Use Program (HUP) for MS Office 2010 for Windows and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. Each Western faculty or staff member can download one copy of Office 2010 or Office 2008 for a $9.95 fee, paid online by credit card. For an additional $12, an installation disk can also be purchased. This software can be used by anyone using the computer for any purpose. It is contingent upon employment status, however, so the software must be uninstalled if the licensee leaves Western.

WWU students and student employees are not eligible for the Microsoft Home Use Program.

To request instructions for Microsoft Office Home Use Program, please email ATUS Software Services.

Microsoft Work-at-Home Software

The Microsoft Campus Agreement includes a limited work-at-home benefit for discounted purchase of one Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus license and one Microsoft Windows 7 upgrade license for installation on a computer owned by a WWU employee and used solely by the employee exclusively for work-related purposes. For details, please email ATUS Software Services.
