Microsoft Azure FAQ

Microsoft Azure FAQ

No. Office is not provided via Azure. However, as a UTD student you do have access to Office365, through which you can obtain Microsoft Office. More information can be found at the OIT website. For questions concerning this resource, please email the OIT Help Desk.

At this time, Visual Studio for Mac is the only software capable of installing onto Mac computers provided via Azure Premium. No other applications (e.g., Visio, Project, etc.) provided by Azure Premium can be installed on Mac computers. Mac users may consider using Boot Camp or purchasing third-party software such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion to install Windows on their Mac computer, but that is beyond the scope of the support our department can offer. The UTD Tech Store may be able to assist with this but will charge for their support. Note that you can obtain a full version of Windows 10 from Azure Premium at no charge.

    UT Dallas offers two different tuition plans. The variable tuition rate plan is based on a traditional plan that only locks tuition rates in for one academic year at a time. The rates on the variable tuition plan are subject to change each academic year.

    The guaranteed tuition plan is a plan that locks tuition rates in for four consecutive years and protects the student against increases during those four years. This plan is designed to aid students and families in the budget and planning of college expenses.

    All new incoming students will be automatically placed into the variable tuition rate plan, but will have the option to lock in their tuition rates for four consecutive years with the guaranteed tuition plan.

    To make your tuition plan choice, please follow these instructions on this page https://www.utdallas.edu/finance/bursar/tuition/
