The Microsoft Campus Agreement 3.4 (MSCA) is an annual licensing program that allows faculty and staff to install supported software products on all University owned computers.

The department head is responsible, within his or her unit, for compliance with software license terms. Each department is also responsible for keeping track of the number of copies installed of each supported software product on each computer. Upon request from Information Technology, these records must be made available for summarizing University utilization of the Campus Agreement. Also, if ISU decided not to renew the Campus Agreement, the department would need these records. For more information, visit the MSCA Frequently Asked Questions and see the question, "What if ISU decides not to renew the Microsoft Campus Agreement".

Departments can purchase a single copy of the supported software and install it on multiple computers within the department. The software will be distributed on CDs only.

The department heads or their representatives can order software by doing the following:

Order software at http://www1.indstate.edu/mcsa/ordrmsca.html. Billing for software will be done using an intramural voucher. The department will receive an email when the order is completed.
Bring the email message you received verifying that your order is ready, your ISU ID, and the signed MSCA license agreement to the Help Desk in the SCC (Student Computing Complex) room 127.
After you have shown your ID and signed the pickup order form you will be given copies of the software.

IMPORTANT:

Your ISU ID will be required to pickup software.
Departments can order only one copy of each software package (either Windows or Macintosh).

Departments may not loan CDs to individuals for use on personally owned computers. Faculty and staff must purchase a separate copy of the software. For more details, see the MSCA Frequently Asked Questions web page or Use on Personally Owned Computers.

If you have questions, please refer to the MSCA Frequently Asked Questions web page, or send an email to msca@isugw.indstate.edu.
