Software

What software does the Law School provide to its students?
The Law School, as part of the University, provides Symantec Norton Antivirus and Firewall programs at no cost to its students; inquire at the Help Desk in Burns 204 regarding such software.  The Law School also provides Extegrity Exam 4 to its students; the Records Office directs the exam process and will announce when updated exam software is available for download from Extegrity.  The Help Desk also recommends antispyware software, but may only provide links to freeware available online.  Neither the Law School nor the University provides word processing software (such as Word or WordPerfect) or productivity suites (such as Microsoft Office) directly to its students.  Students must personally acquire such software for their notebooks or other computers.

Where may I obtain assistance with ... (Word, Norton Antivirus, exam software, etc.)?
Provided that your notebook computer meets the specified requirements, the Help Desk will attempt to assist you in troubleshooting your software problems.  The assistance may be more in-depth for software that was provided to you by the Law School.  Exam software assistance is provided primarily by Extegrity via a contact form on their web site.

What software is required to view course-related videos on the Law School's portal?
You must access the video listings inside the portal using Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser, which will launch a session of Microsoft Silverlight. If you do not have the Silverlight viewer installed, you will be prompted to install it when you click on "Play Video".
