Microsoft Campus Agreement Benefits Faculty and StaffBy Claudia Lynch, Benchmarks Online EditorSometimes when things have been around awhile, it slips our minds that not everyone on campus is aware of them. Thus it is with the Microsoft Campus Agreement. As Dr. Maurice Leatherbury, Executive Director of Information Technology and Academic Computing, noted in a recent E-mail to the campus, UNT has had an agreement with Microsoft for the past five years wherein the following Microsoft software products are available at very low prices to UNT employees:
According to Dr. Leatherbury, several versions of these products are
available, for Windows 2000, XP, Mac OS X, and earlier versions of the
Mac operating system. The cost of the products depends upon the number
of CD's needed to hold the software: Office Pro for Windows, for
example, is either $14.00 or $21.00 depending upon the version, and the
Mac versions of Office are either $7.00 or $8.00. There are some
restrictions on the use of the software, such as you may use the
software for school-related purposes, and you must sign a user
acceptance form to obtain the software. Only UNT employees (including
TA's and TF's) may purchase the software.
