Service details

To learn more about Software Distribution at the University of Guelph, please visit our getting started page for information on licensing agreements accessible software, and more. 

Accessibility to individual software is based on a user’s designation at the University (i.e. Student, Staff, Faculty, Sponsored, etc.). Please note that a student designation will serve as a primary designation, which will restrict many different products from being purchased.

For institutional use only software, payment can be made by credit card, Pay Pal, or University Billing Code.
