Unsupported Software
All other software will be considered non-supported. While we may assist you in installing it, we cannot support it and if it causes problems with the computer our first action will be to remove it.
Distribution and Revisions
The IT Division will periodically review and revise these standards based on emerging desktop technologies and software development. Input on changes to identified software will be sought from the Academic Computing Users Group and other appropriate groups. Modifications will be communicated to departments with sufficient lead-time to allow for migration to new software standards.
