How the program works:

This offer is only available to currently enrolled Goshen College students and currently employed Goshen College faculty and staff. (This offer is not available to alumni or retired employees.)  When you make a purchase each product includes one license and one media kit. The license gives you the right to install the product on one computer. When a student, faculty or staff member purchases a product under this program, the product becomes the property of the purchaser. The product will not terminate or expire if there is a change in your student or employee status with Goshen College. Each student, faculty or staff member is limited to purchasing one copy of each product.  
 

Ordering:

Software can be purchased with a credit card from our secure Goshen College Software Center, powered by E-Academy. Please note that new incoming students will not be eligible to order software until after their status has officially changed to "student". This will occur on the first day of class.

Please read through the below system requirements first.  When you are ready to place you order, click here to go to E-Academy. Click the Log In button that is located in the upper left corner of their web page, then type in your Goshen College username and password.
