Microsoft Work at Home Software

The college is making available the Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 software package to permanent employees who find it necessary to work from home. With your Chair/ Supervisors permission, you can obtain the software from the library on the LaPlata campus. If you wish to obtain a copy of the software you will need to have your Chair/ Supervisor send an email to circulation@csmd.edu requesting the library to loan you a copy. Once the email is received the library will charge out to you the 1 disk.  You can either pick the software up at the library in LaPlata or request that it be sent directly to you through the college mail. The use of this software is governed by the Computer Use Policy which in part states:   

“Microsoft Work at Home

            Under an agreement with Microsoft, the college may make available certain Microsoft software products to permanent employees ("Home Users") for use at their home.  Employees are responsible for securing written supervisory approval to obtain the software, including obtaining approval when their supervisor changes due to personnel changes or changes in positions. 

Employees must use such software solely for their college work-related use on their home computer or laptop.  The installation, use, deletion and removal of such software are at the sole risk of the Home User.  The college is not responsible for any costs associated with any damages or injuries, including but not limited to file corruption or data loss, associated with use, installation, deletion or removal of the software.  Home Users must delete and remove the software products from both the temporary memory (RAM) and permanent memory (e.g. hard disk) of their home computer or laptop and must return all media (whether CD-ROMs or otherwise) to the college  by the earlier of their separation from the college's employment or the termination of the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (“MEA”).  Termination of the MEA will be communicated to the college community through “everyone e-mail” from the Technology Services Department.  Home Users are prohibited from further distributing or copying the software products.”
