Campus Access to ESRI ArcGIS Pro Software:
Trent University is currently supporting ArcGIS Pro (Desktop) Software and ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap). Note that ArcGIS Desktop ArcMap is being phased out by Esri. ArcGIS Pro is the newer software and is recommended for most research and teaching initiatives.
ArcGIS Desktop Software can be accessed by registered members of Trent University from a number of locations at Trent including labs in Otonabee College, the DNA building, Traill College and on Oshawa campus.
ArcGIS Desktop requires Windows operating system. ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) and ArcGIS Pro can be run on the same machine. You may install one or both software.
Trent faculty and staff can obtain software for their offices and research labs by downloading software from the Trent network. Computers must be Trent imaged, Windows 10 and linked to the Trent backbone. Software can be used for academic research and teaching only, commercial use is prohibited.
