Before You Arrive

Below are a few useful things you should know before you arrive at the Humphrey School.

Recommended Computer

The University has certified laptop bundles, which are fully support by TechStop and come pre-installed with Microsoft Office and Symantec Antivirus.

Software

Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows

The University of Minnesota has paid for one Microsoft Office and one Windows license per student. Students must be enrolled in the current or a future semester at the U of M in at least one credit course. All software orders must be placed through the Microsoft student online order form, which verifies student enrollment and automatically charges your U of M student account. Students have the option to pick up the software at a campus location or have it shipped directly to them (for an additional charge). The software media packets are significantly discounted. Office is available for the Mac and PC.

The Humphrey School is not a pickup location for this software.  Carlson School of Management or the College of Liberal Arts are the closest pickup locations.

Symantec Antivirus

The University of Minnesota has a license with Symantec Corp. to provide its AntiVirus® and Symantec Client Security® (SCS) software to eligible students, faculty, and staff of all campuses of the University of Minnesota.

You may install Symantec Client Security (including Symantec AntiVirus) on one computer owned by any current University of Minnesota student, faculty, or staff for personal use.

Symantec Antivirus can be downloaded here: http://www1.umn.edu/adcs/software/security/
