Software Approvals
If your course requires special software, you must submit a request for approval at least 4 weeks prior to the course start date. Both the Program Manager and the UW PCE Technical Support Helpdesk (ctnmhelp@uw.edu) must approve a software before it can be installed on UW PCE computers.
If you are considering using outside software, sites, or social media in one of your courses, please contact your Program Manager, who will work with UWC2 Technical Support (ctnmhelp@uw.edu) to confirm if your needs can be met with an already approved software solution.
Note, any software or websites that store student information must be evaluated for compliance with FERPA before it can be used in a UW PCE course. Please consult your Instructor Handbook (for detailed policy regarding outside software and FERPA info), and the UW Registrar FERPA overview.
