ArcGIS

ArcGIS Pro is available for installation on University imaged computers as well as personally owned computers. The process is different for each scenario.

ArcGIS Pro for University Managed Computers

Use of ArcGIS Pro on University managed computers requires an ArcGIS Online account. To get access to ArcGIS Online a Help Desk ticket must be submitted by a faculty member under the 'Software' category. Because there are a limited number of licenses, student requests must be made by their instructor.

If you are using a Windows computer provided by the WPU IT Department, once you have contacted Information Technology through a Help Desk ticket, they will provide instructions on how to install ArcGIS via the Software Center.

Open the software and it should prompt you to log in and authenticate.

ArcGIS Pro/Online for Personally Owned Computers

Note: steps below are for personal devices only.

ArcGIS Online is a key component and an integral part of the Esri ArcGIS system. It is a content management system comprised of applications and templates for creating interactive maps. ArcGIS Online users can share maps within an organization or the world through ready-to-use tools that are available for the web, smartphones and tablets. Data, delivered as maps and information feeds, are accessible by other web developers and GIS analysts who can share its contents through the same system. ArcGIS Online is mainly used by GIS professionals to publish information online – including geographic information, cartography, analytics and workflows.

Users can use ArcGIS Online to extend the capabilities of ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS for Server, ArcGIS applications, and ArcGIS APIs and Runtime SDKs. Users can also add many types of maps, layers, applications, tools and files to ArcGIS Online.
