For Students:

Rice students are allowed to request a 1-year copy of ArcView 9.1 (with extensions) to learn GIS, do research, or to complete their course work. To obtain the software, you have three options:

  • Ask your professor (if doing GIS coursework/research) to submit a request for software at  www.esri.com/slpromo
or
  • Submit a problem to helpdesk@rice.edu and ask for an individual copy of ArcView 9.1 (w/ extensions).  A divisional IT representative should be able to help you get the software and install it
or
  • Come to the GIS/Data Center

Please keep in mind that the 1-year license will eventually time-out, at that time you can request another 1-year license.  This is a good way to keep software updated.


For Professors:

The ESRI site license also affords installations of ESRI's software packages in departments and labs throughout campus.  Ask your divisional IT representative for more information.
