If software is a legal, criminal, or technical threat to the college, CIS will take action to destroy it or prevent its use. Additionally, CIS will take further actions up to and including revoking user privileges, and contacting the appropriate internal and external authorities. The LIST of software indicates which applications are Fully Supported, Partially Supported, Unsupported, and Illegal Software. Software Deadlines Please consult CIS before purchasing software, so that we may help determine compatibility with our network, memory requirements, etc. CIS requires appropriate notice to make software available.
Deadlines vary depending on type and scope of request.
One month notice is usually sufficient for single users. For campus computing labs or campus-wide use CIS involvement in the selection process is absolutely crucial. Please consult with CIS well in advance of these deadlines. Requests must be submitted to CIS by May 15 for the next academic year. The department or individual requesting software will be responsible for testing installed software prior to the beginning of the semester.
