Microsoft Academic Alliance

If you are enrolled in a computer science course, you are eligible to obtain many Microsoft development tools free of charge for academic use. These tools include Visual Studio, SQL Server, Windows Server, Visio, and others. You can install these tools on a laptop or home computer.

Complete an MSDNAA Student Use Form and submit at the help desk (or give to the department secretaries). After the help desk creates your account, you will be able to log into the MSDN Academic Alliance Software Center and download Microsoft development tools.
