UVa’s Microsoft Contracts
Discounted Microsoft Software for the UVa Community
The UVa community can obtain Microsoft products at a discount through the
Microsoft Campus Agreement and the Microsoft Select contract
(compare
the plans ). Use this wizard to find the best way to obtain Microsoft
software depending on your classification and needs.
You can also use the tables on the “How to Obtain Your
Microsoft Software” page to aid you in learning how to get your
discounted UVa Microsoft products.
As a student through the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, you are not covered by UVa's
Microsoft software licenses. You can still buy Microsoft and other software from
Cavalier Computers at standard educational pricing. And
if you are also affiliated with the University as a faculty or staff member, you can still qualify for
special pricing—just re-run this wizard from the top again, answering as an employee.
If your organization is locally-funded, software licensing may apply differently to
you than if you were employed in a state-funded entity. To find out what pricing
is applicable for you, please email the
license administrator .
Since this is a personally-owned machine, for a product other than Windows or Office (e.g., Visio, a server operating
system, etc.), you will need to buy the retail academic version of the application.
Pricing: free download. (You must already have Windows on your computer so this is only an upgrade.)
