The Arts Computing Office welcomes students, staff and faculty to approach us with any software issues. We provide support for software on Nexus and Arts faculty computers. The pages listed below give detailed lists of the software available on our lab computers in Psychology-Anthropology-Sociology (PAS) rooms 1237, 1080 and 1098. Macs with the listed software are also available in the ECH 1205 lab and at the Stratford campus.

The location for picking up podium keys is MC 1007.

If additional software is needed for instructional purposes, see the sidebar (Requesting Additional Software) for details.

Note: Only PAS 1098 has Mac computers.
