Obtaining access to the Software
If you are eligible, please contact the CBE Technology Coordinator, Jeremy Farkas, at jfarkas AT_TOWSON to have an account set up for you.
If you do not have a high-speed Internet connection or do not have experience downloading and installing software, you can order the CD software through Azure Dev Tools for Teaching.

If you have additional requirements, it is recommended that you purchase the products at the standard academic discount from the University Store.
