PSU students, faculty, and staff can purchase selected software for their personal computers at a discount. Some software is free, and some is available from external vendors at an academic price.
In some cases, you'll need to pay for the software and physically come to the Helpdesk for installation. At the Helpdesk, you'll fill out a form that will be taken to the Cashier's Office in Student Financial Services, so the cost can be charged to your student account.
See the following table for specific software information.
