Request Software

Instructional Software Installation

Instructors may suggest or request software to be installed on lab and technology classroom machines by a CLC staff member, and may provide data accessible to students either with our help or on their own. Software that doesn't require any installation or customization (which is rare) may be provided by instructors without our assistance.

Software installation requests must be received at least 6 weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. Requests received with less lead time will be processed on a "best effort" basis. Follow the links below for more details.

Software Types

Several different types of software have different policies and contact information:

  • General Use - Installed on all machines, purchased and supported by CLC
  • Courseware - Provided and supported by the instructor
  • Demonstration - Temporarily installed on podium machines, personal laptops and loaner laptops 

Installation Requests

Please see the details on software installation requests.

We recognize that faculty or departments may have other software needs. For example, Penn State has other facilities designed to accommodate non-credit, hands-on workshops and seminars. For more information, contact either resource group listed below:
