Skill: Get Software You Need

Particulars: Go to the ACC website at www.haverford.edu/acc and click on Download Software. Follow the instructions to download anti-virus software, critical updates for your operating system, and other software. Also see www/haverford.edu/acc/protect for important information about securing your system. You also need to buy Microsoft Office, which contains our supported word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software. For information about purchasing Microsoft Office see www/haverford.edu/acc/sales.

Why this is important: The download page has a wealth of free programs that can be used by students. The most important is the anti-virus and other security software. To protect other computers, you must install our anti-virus software and critical updates for your operating before your system is permitted on Haverford's network.
