Features & Options
New Software Acquisition/Renewals
This includes any software for purchase and software that is available for free as well as renewals. The University has Privacy, Security, Accessibility, and Procurement standards for software and platforms used for University teaching and business. All software needs to go through a review process.
Software that collects/stores confidential and restricted data or has higher risk factors for Security and Accessibility will take longer for reviews to be completed and will also be dependent on vendor responsiveness and the availability of UW Seattle offices involved. Depending on complexity, this process generally takes 3 weeks to 3 months.
Software/Platform Consultations
UWB-IT staff are available to work with you on finding your best software/platform solution whether that is something already owned by the University or a 3rd party option.
Classroom/Individual Standard Software Installation Requests
Software that has been reviewed and is not needed for the first day of the quarter may be requested at any time. Any new software or software that has not previously been reviewed will need to go through the third-party acquisition process (choose that option below). Please allow for the following turn-around times for all standard software installation requests:
- Two weeks for all computer lab, computer classroom, and standard classroom (ePodium) requests
- One week for all faculty/staff workstations
