Employees who need access to applications that are not currently available to them based on license assignment may submit a request by selecting the Request License button on this page.

The request will be reviewed first by the supervisor of the requester and then ITS to verify need.  The requester will typically be notified within 2 business days after all of the reviews/approvals have occurred with a decision as to whether their license will be adjusted.  

When submitting a request, users will be asked to provide:

• Supervisor Name  

• Justification for licensing change. Justification should include a detailed explanation of the need and benefit to departmental operations along with a list of desired applications if appropriate.
