As of June 30, 2006, the Microsoft Campus Agreement – Student Option terminated. This program was a subscription (rental)
program which allowed students to acquire selected Microsoft software from the University Bookstore for either $29.99 during
academic year 04-05 or $39.99 during academic year 05-06. BGSU now has a Microsoft Student Select program in effect, whereby
software purchased for $62.00 plus tax is owned by the student at the time of the purchase.
Under the prior program, as stated in the Microsoft Campus Agreement Subscription Student Users Acceptance Form which was
signed by the student at the time the product was acquired, upon termination of the Campus Agreement – Student Option the
student must remove the software from the personal computer if they haven’t graduated. If the student hasn’t graduated and
wishes to continue to use the Microsoft software they had under the subscription program, then they must purchase the software
again for $62.00 plus tax each from the BGSU Bookstore.
