If you access library resources from off campus, you'll need to sign in with your UA NetID and password. An alternative is to use UITS's Virtual Private Network (VPN), which is free for UA students and instructors to download. The VPN client provides a secure connection between your home computer, laptop, or mobile device and the UA network. To use the VPN client, you'll need to sign up for UA NetID+ Two-Factor Authentication, which provides another layer of security.
Computers in the Main Library, Science-Engineering Library, and Fine Arts Library are loaded with many different softwareprograms, including Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD.
SolidWorks and Adobe Creative Cloud are also available to UA students as free campus downloads. Autodesk provides free educational licenses to UA affiliates with a valid ".edu" email.
