Overview
All software purchase requests are reviewed for license compliance, accessibility, security, and adherence to College policy and best practices. Approval requests for new software purchases may take up to one week to process. Once your request is submitted you will be contacted by a representative from our office who will walk you through next steps, request additional information, and answer any questions you may have.
Details
The PCC-approved software list identifies software that has been previously approved for use in our environment. If the software you are requesting is on the approved software list above, you can request installation here. We will check to see if licenses are available or if a purchase will be required. If a purchase is required we will contact the requester for a FOAP and order the software. Once the purchase is complete we will create a ticket to schedule the installation.
Requests for software that has not yet been approved for our environment go through the following process:
-
New software requests are evaluated for compliance and security. We work with the Access and Disability Resources (ADR), Information Assurance and Records (IAR), and IT Security departments as part of this process. The requester will be given an estimated time for completion of this evaluation and will be notified of the results.
-
If the request is approved we will contact the requester for a FOAP and order the software. Once the purchase is complete we will create a ticket to schedule the install.
-
If the request is not approved we will work with the requester to find an appropriate alternative solution.
