Available for students is Open Office software, which has nearly all the same features as Windows Office and creates Office-compatible files. Anyone can download it free by clicking on the graphic below. Or it can be purchased from the Controller's Office for a small fee that simply covers the creation of a CD. (Classes in specific MS Office products, will require the use of the Microsoft version, but for all other purposes, OpenOffice should be more than adequate for coursework needs.)

Students and faculty can purchase from a large selection of software online at greatly reduced rates. Check the GBC Bookstore's website for computing products.
