Technology Fee

All J. B. Speed School of Engineering students enrolled in any classes are accessed a $25 technology fee for that given semester.  There is no opt-out option as our primary license agreement with Microsoft requires licensing 100% of our students. The technology fee includes any undergraduate student, Masters of Engineering program students, or graduate student (MS, Phd, and post-doc) enrolled for one or more credit hours (including coop).

All software covered by the technology fee, except for operating system upgrades, is accessible for download.  Downloads are monitored and restricted to Speed School students only.  Speed School students may purchase DVD copies of included software at an additional cost of $6.50 - $8.00 per DVD.  It is not required to purchase any DVDs unless you plan to upgrade the operating system (due to its size, the operating system is not available via download).

You may install the software on only one computer; the agreements do not cover installation on multiple computers.  Do not download software on another computer or give your friends or relatives your DVDs to install on their computer. This is a direct violation of the user agreements and you could be held personally liable.  All software products have some form of license keys and activations are tracked.
