If you get an error message stating your software is not accepted, please contact the IT Solution Center. We should be able to add it to the approved list. We also ask that all students run a virus scan at least once a week. If you do not see your particular antivirus or operating system, please give us a call and we'll see if it can/will be approved and added to our list. If you have any questions, please contact us via one of the ways listed on the left.
