Software Acquisition Process
- Obtain approval from your supervisor to use the software.
- If software isn’t free, also get approval and a cost center for the purchase.

- Provide answers to follow up questions from Information Technology.
- A meeting may also be requested as IT and IT Security review the request and determine which purchasing steps are appropriate.
- Other factors that may need to be discussed:
- additional hardware needs (including servers)
- commitment of IT personnel hours
- equivalent product already owned and supported by the University
