Software Resources for Students
Students may need specialized software to complete their coursework. Typically, this software is only available in UIC computer labs due to licensing limitations. Unfortunately, campus computer labs are currently closed to ensure the safety and well-being of UIC students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, UIC has tools available for students and worked with software vendors to make their products available, at no cost to students.
