Microsoft Campus Agreement

We are part of a Microsoft software licensing system called the "Campus Agreement" where every current student, faculty member, and administrative staff member is licensed.

This agreement covers any versions of:	Media Cost
Microsoft Windows OS Desktop Upgrade (Vista Business or Ultimate)	$9 Business/$14 Ultimate
Microsoft Office (2007 Enterprise for Windows, 2008 for Mac) (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher, InfoPath, OneNote, Groove)	$9 WIN/$14 MAC
Microsoft Visual Studio Pro (Visual Basic, J#, C#)	$19
Core and Enterprise CAL (Client Access for Windows, Forefront Security, Exchange Ent, Office Communicator Std/Ent, Config Mgr, SharePoint Ent, Operations Manager, Windows Rights Management)	n/c
Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) (starting 7/1/09)	n/a
Microsoft FrontPage (discontinued as of 6/30/09)
Microsoft SharePoint Designer (discontinued as of 6/30/09)

Current students may now purchase one copy of each software DVD from the Student Financial Services office for a student-owned computer. Faculty and staff may do the same for one home computer through the Human Resources office.

This agreement allows those mentioned above to not only use these products on home computers, but to also use them on college-owned computers. IT Services has installed these products on all college-owned computers.

This campus agreement does not provide at-home technical support, but you may purchase that service from Microsoft if you wish.

Under this agreement lost or stolen DVDs/CDs are not replaced by the College or Microsoft. The Thomas bookstore provides software at the academic retail price.

Graduates are allowed to take and own the current version of each software package listed above when they leave Thomas. All other students leaving Thomas must remove the software.
