Specialty Software Applications and Peripherals:
These applications and peripherals are requested and purchased
by academic departments and/or faculty members for specific
use in classes or other academic pursuits. They may not be available
on all computers and may be removed if the requesting department
no longer needs them.
Primary support for each application and peripheral is provided
by the instructor(s) who requested it. Support by Systems Labs
consultants is limited to opening, saving, printing, and the information
on our documentation page. Questions should
be directed to the appropriate instructor. Additional support is
provided via electronic manuals
accessible
through each application's Help menu.
Users are welcome to ask the consultant on duty
for assistance, but should recognize that s/he has not been trained
on
these applications and may not be able to adequately answer all
