Instructional Technology Center
Software for Home Use
Faculty and staff members of Chabot College can purchase discounted software
(such as Microsoft and Adobe) for home use at the
Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC).
For example, as of January 2008, the Windows Vista Business Edication Upgrade is
available for only $45!
Some information you may want to know:
- The site includes a lot of different links to click on before you view the
list of software, prices, and the ordering process, but you will eventually
get there!
- You will have to go thru a series of steps (asking if you are a
faculty/staff, which college, etc.). Don't worry, you are not ordering
anything at this time; this is just a way of verifying eligibility. You will eventually get the
page which lists the software available for purchase, as well as the prices &
other details.
- Due to regulations set forth by Microsoft, the FCCC does not have a
complete online ordering system. You are required to either fax or mail in
the appropriate verification of employment and signature of acceptance when
you print the last page. You will not be asked to submit any payment
information online.
- Note that the above website and software agreement is provided by the
Foundation for California Community Colleges, and not by Chabot College. If you
have any problems or questions, please contact the Assistant Director of
Purchasing Programs listed on the
FCCC FAQ/Contact Us page.
