Microsoft Campus Agreement for Notre Dame Students

(Revised for academic year 2009-2010 on July 14, 2009)

What Is the Microsoft Campus Agreement?

The University of Notre Dame and Microsoft have negotiated a license agreement which allows Notre Dame to offer many of Microsoft's popular titles to students at reduced prices. The following software titles are available under Microsoft Campus Agreement 3.5, which is valid through 6/30/2010 (renewed annually): Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade, Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, and Office 2008 for Mac.  *As new versions of these titles are released before 6/30/2010, they may become available under this agreement. The titles available may change under future agreements. If changes occur, students may need to un-install software or purchase specific software titles.

Am I Eligible to Participate?

If you are a full-time or part-time student at the University of Notre Dame, you're eligible for this program as long as you're currently enrolled in at least one class which, when successfully completed, will result in the awarding of credit hours verifiable through the Office of the Registrar.

How Do I Get the Software?

You may purchase the media for this software in the ND Computer Store (Room 103, Information Technology Center). You must show proof of affiliation with the University, provide a valid ID card, and sign a license agreement. Indiana sales tax (7%) will be added to the purchase price. Most titles are $50 each. See the ND Computer Store for details.

Can I Keep the Software?

If the Microsoft Campus Agreement Student Option is terminated for any reason before you leave the University of Notre Dame, you must un-install the software from your computer. If you graduate from Notre Dame before 6/30/2010, you will receive a perpetual right to run the version of the software installed on your computer when you graduate. If you leave Notre Dame for any other reason before 6/30/2010, you must un-install the software from your computer. If you graduate or leave Notre Dame after 6/30/2010, your rights to keep the software will depend upon the terms of the agreement in place at that time.
