Discounted Software for Home Use

Faculty and staff members of Chabot College can purchase discounted software (such as from Microsoft and Adobe) for home use through the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC).

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 the appropriate verification of employment, signature of acceptance, and payment information. Note that the above website and software agreement is provided by the FCCC and not by Chabot College. If you have any problems or questions, please contact the support resources listed on the FCCC CollegeBuys Team page.
