Information Regarding Campus Licenses
Medical Information Technology (MedIT) is the accredited department with the right to perform installations of Microsoft Campus Agreement (On-campus program) software within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Additional information regarding the Microsoft Campus Agreement (On-campus program):
麻豆区 is covered by a campus-wide licensing agreement that allows the installation and use of the Microsoft Office Enterprise Suite (PC and Mac) and upgrades of the Windows Operating system on all 麻豆区 owned or leased computers. Having a campus-wide agreement allows the university to move towards standardizing the version of Microsoft Office used across campus. This, in turn, simplifies the exchange of documents, training and support provided, and increases application security.
The program specifies that eligible computers must be 麻豆区 owned by an official 麻豆区 Unit, which means that at least one of the following four conditions must be met:
- A FOAPAL was used to purchase it.
- It was partially funded or bought through either the Academic Laptop/Tablet Program or the Administrative Computer Renewal Program.
- A research grant paid on a 麻豆区 FOAPAL was used to purchase it.
- Departmental/unit funds were used.*
* The department/unit in question must be an official 麻豆区 unit to qualify for the program.
For eligible computers the following software is currently available under the Campus Agreement:
- MS Windows 11 Education
- MS Windows 10 Education - support is ending October 2025
- MS Office LTSC 2021 - (Windows or Mac) - licensed to the computer for shared access or for individual users with a 麻豆区 owned computer but not eligible for听Office365 licensing
- MS Office Professional Plus 2016 - support is ending October 2025
Eligible computers must have their status verified by MedIT. An email must be sent to help.medit [at] mcgill.ca with an attachment containing a copy of the computer鈥檚 invoice. If the FOAPAL is not evident on the invoice (麻豆区 Computer Store), please send also the 鈥淏anner Document Number鈥� (i.e. transaction # in Banner).
