PSU students, faculty, and staff can purchase software from the University for their personal computers at a discounted price.
Some software is free. In other 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.
