The LHU MSDNAA Program


The Business Administration, Computer Science and Information Technology Department (BACSIT) at Lock Haven University is a member of the Microsoft Academic Alliance.  Through this program BACSIT can provide its majors (and students taking classes in the Department) with free software. 

To download and install your software you will need an account.  In many cases, your professor will request that the entire class be given an account so that you can obtain a specific piece of software.  At other times, you may need to request an account for yourself so that you can complete an individual project.  In either case, once you have an account you can download and install it from the following website:

    Once your account is created you will be notified via email.  Your username is always your LHU email address  If you do not get the email with your username and password you can still go to the site above and request that your password be emailed to you by clicking "Sign In" and then clicking on "Did you forget your password?" to get access.    This will cause the system to email you your password to your LHU email account.

   The download and install process is a bit complicated.  As a result, we have a video to guide you through the process.  Please watch the following video before you attempt the install.

A WORD OF CAUTION: Upgrading your operating system can be risky business.  If you are not careful it can reformat your hard drive, cause some of your hardware to stop working, and affect the performance of your machine.  We recommend that students contact their computer vendor to check if their laptop or desktop is compatible with the new operating system.  In addition, it is a good idea to wait until the end of the semester to upgrade: that way if something bad happens, your coursework will not be affected.  LHU is not responsible for any problems caused by upgrading your operating system.
