Where can I get/use ArcGIS software?
The UW has a site license with ESRI, the producer of ArcGIS and many other products. The site license requires that software be installed on University-owned computers AND be used only for educational purposes or non-profit reseach. This site provides information about how to get the software, how to install it, and how to connect with the GIS users at the UW. Alternatives for current UW Students: • ESRI offers a free, one-year license to students enrolled in GIS courses at the UW. Software must be requested by the faculty member of the course and can be installed on student-owned computers. • Computer Labs at UW • GIS Lab, Suzzallo Library, ground floor. Open 20 hours/week – hours posted on lab webpage. • UW-Seattle department labs with GIS software to support students in their programs. • UW-Seattle General Access Labs providing ArcGIS software. • UW-Tacoma Campus Labs providing ArcView 9.1 software • Students may purchase ArcView and many of its extensions at an educational discount
