Q. Can I access GIS software at home?

UH students using GIS software for purely academic research can obtain a 12-month student license to install ArcGIS Desktop on their personal desktop or laptop Windows PC. To request a student license go to http://guides.lib.uh.edu/content.php?pid=615193&sid=5085271 and follow the instructions under 'Software Access.'

UH students may also connect to the Virtual Learning Commons, which allows you to connect to a Virtual PC that has all the software of the Learning Commons computers. For instructions on accessing the Virtual Learning Commons, please visit http://ask.lib.uh.edu/a.php?qid=485572.
