The below article lists the software included on both University-issued student lab and faculty/staff machines. Instructions on using the 'Software Center' are also outlined.

Software Center

The Software Center allows you to install applications through an easy to use self-service interface. The Software Center functionality is similar to an app store wherein you select the applications you would like, and they are downloaded directly to your computer without the need for additional passwords, permissions, or a technician on-site. Applications available in Software Center are licensed for use by members of the University community. If you would like to request an application that is not listed, please submit a Help Desk ticket.

The Applications tab will show you a list of software available to download. Alternatively, you can search for software by application name or keyword using the search bar located at the top right of the window.
Select the application you would like to install and click the Install button. Estimated installation times and VPN availability are listed for each application in the details section below the list.
Click the Installation Status tab to monitor your installation and to see what software has been installed via the Software Center.
