Microsoft Campus Agreement

Purchase College maintains a Campus Agreement with Microsoft that entitles the College to use certain Microsoft products across the campus on institutionally owned computers. The Campus Agreement is a license subscription service purchased annually for certain Microsoft software used by faculty and staff across campus on institutionally owned computers. Under the agreement the College can install Microsoft Office and upgrade Windows operating system.

Current applications included under the Campus Agreement:

• Windows Upgrades
• Microsoft Office Professional for Windows and Macintosh
• FrontPage
• Visual Studio Professional
• Publisher
• Core Client Access Licenses (CALS)

These applications come pre-installed on any new computers setup and delivered by the CTS Helpdesk and can be installed onto any College owned computers by request. Please contact the CTS Helpdesk at (914) 251-6465 or helpdesk@purchase.edu for more information.

Work-at-Home Rights for Faculty and Staff

Under this agreement, College employees are entitled to install this same software onto their personally owned computers at home provided they use this software in the performance of their job. The software can be installed from special installation media obtained from the College’s vendor, UBMicro. The cost of the license for this software is already covered under the Campus Agreement and a nominal fee will be charged by the vendor to cover the cost of supplying the media.

Please visit the Microsoft Product Information Center for information regarding these software titles and their minimum system requirements.

Obtaining Installation Media for Work-at-Home

Faculty and staff can purchase media under the Campus Agreement for work-at-home use by completing the order form and returning it along with payment and a copy of your valid faculty/staff identification (More Card) to UBMicro Computer Sales. Orders are usually processed within 48-hours and shipped UPS ground. The order form can be downloaded here:

SUNY Personal Work At Home Licensing

Note: This software is made available to you because Purchase College has purchased license coverage for the software through its Microsoft Campus Agreement effective 10/1/03. Purchase College is offering the right for you to use the software for business related purposes at home under its Microsoft Campus Subscription Enrollment. You are not licensed to use the software at home for personal purposes. You do not own the license or the CDs, rather you are authorized to use the software and associated media pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Microsoft Campus Agreement during the licensed period. You will be required to remove the software from your home machine immediately upon expiration of the licensed period or earlier if your employment by Purchase College ends.
