Description
ArcGIS Pro is the industry standard Geographic Information System (GIS) software. It can be installed on computers owned and used by Swarthmore students, faculty and staff, while they are affiliated with the College.
Student access
ArcGIS (Arc Map, Arc Catalog, etc.) is installed on all public Windows machines to be available for student use. We recommend using the Singer 222 Windows computer classroom, which is open for general use when there is not a class in session.
Students with their own Windows computers can download and install ArcGIS Pro on those computers for use while enrolled at Swarthmore. See below for details of how to get the installer.
Training
Many online training courses from ESRI are available for free through our site license. Access to these training resources is through our ArcGIS Online instance. Log into swarthmore.maps.arcgis.com, click the blue Swarthmore College button to sign-in with your campus network credentials, then select your username in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Training on the pull-down menu. Any course that is listed as "free" or "Requires Maintenance" should be available to you.
Installation Instructions
To install ArcGIS Pro or other ESRI Tools, you must have administrative privileges. After you download the installer, don't just click it; right-click and Run as Administrator.
