Students registered for CIS, CS, and some CAS/CAWT classes are eligible to use Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching (formerly MS Imagine, DreamSpark, and MSDN) to download select Microsoft software at no cost to students. The system is only available while a term is in session. Students not registered for CIS, CS, or eligible CAS/CAWT classes during the current term cannot logon to the system, download software, re-download software, or get replacement program keys.
Free software includes programs such as Microsoft Visio, Visual Studio, SQL Server, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows Server, and many others. Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft PowerPoint are not available through Azure Dev Tools for Teaching. Software for macOS is not available through Azure Dev Tools for Teaching except Visual Studio 2019 for Mac. Students with a current @pcc.edu email address are able to obtain MS Office 365 for Windows (Word, Excel, Access, etc) for free elsewhere. See the bottom of this page.
