Expand/Collapse Item When do I need to turn in software requests?

When in doubt, please call us at 949.824.2144 to see if we have the software available.

4 or more weeks before the quarter starts
Software Requests must be submitted to your course planner for all currently owned software (in our existing versions/releases) for production scheduling.

Generally, we will have a prototype setup for you to test about a week before the start of the quarter. Please give our office a call at 949.824.2144 to schedule a time.
