Microsoft Campus Agreement
How do I get Microsoft products?
Students
Students need to visit http://softwareagreement.ku.edu/ to select the items they would like to purchase and agree to the license agreements. Once students have completed the web site process, they will be directed to the Tech Shop in the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union or Jayhawk Central on the Edwards campus to pick up their selected media.
Microsoft product licenses are covered for students through the Microsoft Campus Agreement; however, students are responsible for covering the cost of the actual media. The costs of these products are as follows:
Microsoft Office Enterprise for Windows - $9.99
Microsoft Office for Mac - $9.99
Windows 7 Upgrade 32 bit - $9.99
Windows 7 Upgrade 64 bit - $9.99
When students graduate, they have a perpetual license for the Microsoft products they purchased under the Microsoft Campus Agreement. If students leave the University of Kansas prior to graduation, they must remove all of the products from their computer they obtained through the Microsoft Campus Agreement. A copy of the perpetual license for each product will be included with the media when the students purchase it from the KU Bookstore.
Faculty & Staff personal computers
As a benefit of the Microsoft Campus Agreement, the Microsoft Home Use Program (HUP) provides KU Faculty and Staff access to one copy of Microsoft Office for use on a personal computer.
To utilize this benefit, log in to the Kyou portal where on the “general” tab you will find a web site link, a KU program code and instructions for downloading (and purchasing) the products. Faculty and staff members will be able to purchase a download or media for the following products:
Download of Office Professional Plus 2010 for $9.95
Download of Office 2011 for Mac for $9.95
Download of MS Office Language Pack for $9.95
Back-up DVD shipped directly to the end-user for $12
KU Faculty and Staff are also eligible to purchase new Microsoft Office versions. When a new version is released from Microsoft, faculty and staff can go to same site and purchase the new media for $9.95.
Additionally, if faculty and staff are interested in purchasing an additional copy of Microsoft Office, Windows 7 upgrade or other Microsoft products for a reduced price, they need to go to http://softwareagreement.ku.edu/ and select the products they would like to purchase. After completing the web site ordering process, users will be directed to the Tech Shop in the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union or Jayhawk Central on the Edwards campus to pick up their selected media.
Retiree personal computers
Retirees are eligible to purchase a variety of products for a reduced fee under the Microsoft Select Agreement, which is different than the campus agreement. For a complete list of products and prices, visit the http://softwareagreement.ku.edu/ site, where users can select which products they would like to purchase at the KU Bookstore. Please note: products on the http://softwareagreement.ku.edu/ site will be added regularly; be sure to check the site often.
KU Owned machines
University owned computers are covered by the Microsoft Campus Agreement and are eligible for upgrades to Microsoft Office and Windows. Departmental technical staff need to contact the KU IT Licensing Specialist at 864-0383 for a Volume Licensing Key.
