Get Software

Software for Students

Students may purchase software at reduced academic prices in the Campus Bookstore, located in the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center.

Software for Faculty and Staff

One of the most frequently asked questions from members of the faculty and staff is "Can I get Microsoft Office to use from home?" The answer is Yes!

Software for Work-at-Home Use for Faculty and Staff

Because CUA participates in the Microsoft Campus Agreement through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area, faculty and staff may run one copy of Micrsoft Office suite and other Office software on one personnally-owned computer such as a home desktop or notebook.  Faculty and staff need only purchase the media for each software package, at the approximate price of $55.

The form for ordering a faculty or staff Work-at-Home use version of Microsoft Office can be found on the Foundation for California Community Colleges website. Note that Microsoft places significant restrictions on the use of work-at-home software, including that the software may not be used for personal purposes.  Please be sure to read about these restrictions in detail on the Foundation's web site before you order the software.

Software for Personal Use at Home for Faculty and Staff

Through its affiliation with the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area, CUA faculty and staff may purchase Microsoft, Adobe/Macromedia, Autodesk and Quark boxed software products for their personal use at home through ComputerLand of Silicon Valley at substantial discounts.
