  • The Microsoft Campus Agreement provides CSU faculty and staff with the use of certain Microsoft end user products, server licenses and Server Client Access Licenses. The Campus Agreement also incorporates Work at Home Rights (WAH) that allow faculty and staff to install included software on personal systems for which the faculty or staff member is the primary user.
  • The Microsoft Select Agreement enables CSU campus communities, including auxiliary organizations, to purchase Microsoft software licenses and physical media not covered under the Campus Agreement at significant discounts.
  • The Microsoft Student Select Agreement enables students to purchase Microsoft software licenses and physical media at reduced prices. Students can purchase software under this agreement at the HSU Bookstore.
