Software

The University of Alabama makes a number of software programs available at no cost for students, faculty, staff, and UA departments. The Office of Information Technology is the central location to aquire and learn more about this software.

Check out our software catalog to explore different software packages offered by OIT. Please note that each software agreement contains its own terms and conditions. Many software packages are available for use on both personal and University-owned computers; however, only University computers should be used for University business. Generally, use of campus-wide software is limited to University business, academic, or research related purposes.

Other Software

I'm interested in software, but I don't see it in the Software Catalog. What should I do?

Students may purchase academic versions of many products through the University Supply Store or at the manufacturer's website, and students may also check with their academic department to see if they have additional software available.

Please check with your academic or administrative department to determine if there is additional software available to you. Any software not listed in the Software Catalog or not available to you otherwise must be purchased in accordance with UA Purchasing Guidelines. Software providers often times require a licensing agreement to use the associated software. All agreements should be submitted to Contract Management for appropriate review and authorized signature per Contract Guidelines and Contract Submittal. If you are pursuing a new software as a service implementation, please submit a Project Request Form early in the process to seek project management and implementation assistance.

Departments interested in new campus-wide or larger volume licensing agreements should contact the IT Service Desk to express interest. OIT will work with campus units to evaluate and pursue these agreements.
