St Olaf College maintains a site license for ArcGIS Advanced, and migrates to new versions of ArcGIS in a timely manner. Our licenses are centrally managed by the IT department, so anyone on campus connected to our network can use ArcGIS software on college-owned hardware.
Starting Fall 2021, we will be moving towards ArcGIS Pro instead of ArcMap. ArcMap will still be available in scenarios where equipment is only compatible with ArcMap.
For college-owned desktops and laptops, contact the IT Helpdesk to request the software. Please note that we can only install ArcGIS Desktop software on Windows computers (it is not compatible with Mac). College-owned ArcGIS desktop software is not available for personal machines, but ArcGIS Online can be accessed on any device.
If you would like to use ArcGIS but are unsure which application would work best, contact IT for a consultation.
