Reminder for Acquiring Software Licenses from License Programs Coordinated by the ITSC (Year-end Account Closing)

For the purpose of year-end account closing for the financial year ending 30 Jun, 2013, any software license orders charged against 2012/2013 budgets must be sent to the ITSC by 10 May, 2013. Late orders will be charged against the 2013/2014 budgets.


Each year ITSC negotiates a number of deals with software vendors. This gives departments a coordinated and economical way to acquire and update the software they need. There are two categories of software being coordinated by ITSC:

1. University-wide Software under Central Funding:

For software that has a widespread demand among departments, site licenses are purchased under central funding and thus reduce the overall costs of software purchase. Departments need only buy the media and documentation if necessary. Below is a list of site-licensed software programs and packages available for departmental use.
