Microsoft Titles

Northwestern's volume purchase agreement with Microsoft makes all Microsoft software titles available at significant discounts. Departments are encouraged to make purchases in this way to help maintain the volume discount program. The Select 6.0 agreement expires March 31, 2009.

Microsoft Office 2008 for MAC is available for purchase.  As with any new software, NUIT recommends reviewing the challenges prior to installation.

Office 2008 for Mac is a suite of desktop productivity applications that is designed to work specifically with the Macintosh operating system. It provides Macintosh users with applications for creating effective documents, sharing ideas with other users on Macintosh computers or Windows-based computers, and managing information efficiently.
