The College of Design provides a wide variety of software in the College's labs and clusters. Software is available on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms. A list is being updated and will be available here.

Students must purchase their own software for their own computers. The University cannot provide software for non-University owned computers. Students should check with their instructors and look at the College Student Computer Purchase Requirements for their department before buying software. The NCSU Bookstores Computer Connections department is an excellent place to buy software at educational prices. Check the prices there before buying any software.

The University does provide anti-virus software free-of-charge to all students, faculty, and staff. Any computer connected to the NC State network is required to have uptodate anti-virus software installed.See http:www.ncsu.edu/antivirus/ for information and to download the software.

If you have questions, please contact the College of Design IT staff in Brooks 202-204 for help. You can also send an email to design_help@ncsu.edu with specific information about your problem.
