Details

The Pre‑Approved Software list identifies frequently requested software used on campus that has been previously reviewed and approved by Information Security (ISO) and the Office of Information Technology (OIT). Pre-approved Software is not exempt from existing University Purchasing Policies.

For items not on the pre-approved software list, an IT requisition must be submitted through OBF in eProcurement for review by ISO and OIT. IT requisitions must still be submitted in eProcurement through OBF workflow, whether they are subscription based or one time purchases.

Important: Pre-approved software does not absolve the purchaser and their department or school of responsibility and liability for its use and data uploaded or used within it.
