Installations as Needed
- Your Home Computer – We are able to install many of our software solutions on students’ personal computers. In cases where our licensing doesn’t permit home installs, we have other solutions available.
- Your Departmental Computer Lab – If the majority of your work is done in your major’s departmental computer lab on campus, we will work with the appropriate IT coordinator to ensure assistive technology is available.
- Your Classroom – If you are taking a class that meets in a computer lab, we can install assistive technology in your classroom. We will bring the assistive technology you need to the location on campus where you complete your school work.
- Your Office – If the majority of your work is done in a specific office on campus, we will work with the appropriate IT coordinator to ensure assistive technology is available. This is particularly helpful for graduate students with offices.
