Is Microsoft Office free for TTU students and employees?

Microsoft Office is not technically free, as the university has negotiated and paid special licensing fees for MS Office as well as other software programs. Because of these campus-wide purchases, students, faculty and staff CAN DOWNLOAD FOR NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE MS Office as well as other software programs for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Note that download and use of these programs are subject to the terms of the license agreement(s) available at the time of download. More details about the TTU Microsoft Campus Agreement are available.

To download these programs, log into eRaider (www.eraider.ttu.edu) and click "software downloads." These software programs and operating system CDs are also available on CD at the campus High Tech computer store for a nominal charge.

What other specially priced software is available?

Discounted software pricing for Macromedia software programs including Dreamweaver MX 2004, Flash MX 2004, and others is available. Contact the campus High Tech computer store for ordering details.
