Yes, every semester that you are enrolled in Speed School you will be charged the software bundle fee. Since you are enrolled in 2 hours of classes while on co-op, the fee is still charged to your account. However, you still have access to all of the software titles while on co-op.

By having a software bundle, Speed School is able to negotiate lower prices for the software and is able to insure that every student has access to software that is necessary for many classes.

Speed School pays for the software bundle by charging every Speed School student a semesterly $25 dollar feel. This fee pays for the wide range of software that is provided to all Speed School students.

AutoCAD is provided to students for free at http://engineersrule.org. While it is not available for download along side of the rest of the software bundle, it is still free.

The software bundle is designed to be a balanced selection of software that doesn't favor any particular major. The software is used in many classes at Speed School and provides the most up-to-date software to students. For this reason, legacy versions of software such as Windows XP and Office 2003 are not available.

Also, software bundles such as Photoshop and other expensive software titles are not included because because they would raise the price and they are not directly related to engineering.

All of the software can be downloaded from the iTech Xpress Store. The only exception is Windows Vista Ultimate which must be purchased from the iTech Xpress store in the lower level of MITC building for $8.
