Lab and Classroom Software Requests for Fall 2025 - Due by May 5th

CTS will be updating all campus lab and classroom teaching station computers over the summer to prepare for the fall 2025 semester. Please check with the Registrar to confirm your computer lab assignments, then use the Fall 2025 Lab/Classroom Software Request Survey to request software for both computer labs and smart classrooms to allow time for installation and testing.


We encourage you to submit a software request now even if the lab or classroom assignment is not finalized.

The deadline to request software installations for the Fall 2025 semester is May 5th. This includes requests for free software, software provided by ITAC, and software your department is purchasing. While late submissions may be considered, priority will be given to requests received by the deadline.

All software must meet Accessibility requirements as stated in WCAG 2.0/AA standards. For software you are requesting, you must locate and provide a VPAT from the software vendor.

Existing software will not be automatically included when the computers are refreshed. The standard software installed on PCs and Macs in most campus public computer labs is listed below. You must specifically request the installation of additional software. CTS will notify the original requestor once the installation is completed, and we will ask that you visit the room and test the software to verify that it is working to your satisfaction before classes begin.


PC Lab Standard Software:

  • Windows 11 Enterprise 64-bit
  • Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher)
  • Browsers: Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox
  • Adobe Creative Cloud

Mac Lab Standard Software:

  • macOS
  • Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
  • Apple Pages, Keynote, Numbers
  • Browsers: Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox

If you have an extensive list of software, or you need specific software in multiple locations, it may be easier for you to submit a CTS Work Order or contact our Zoom Chat.

Room Change Requests

Please contact the Registrar’s Office at 914-251-6361, or email the Registrar’s Office.

If you are assigned to teach in a classroom or lab which you have not previously used, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to meet someone from CTS in that room to review the use of equipment in that room in advance of the first day of classes. While most rooms have a standard set of services, they are all unique in some respects, and familiarizing yourself in advance is strongly recommended.
