Downloading Apps

Whether you need it for class or for personal preferences, you can download additional apps to your WSU-issued computer.

There are many WSU-supported apps that are typically necessary for specific disciplines or courses and are licensed to run on any WSU computer. WSU students and staff are also able to take advantage of our Microsoft partnership with Azure Dev Tools for Teaching.

If you choose to download other apps, make sure that you do so from a trusted source like the like the macOS App Store or Microsoft Store.

Download apps only from known and trusted app stores and be careful with free apps.

Free apps often lack standard features, such as bug fixes, and security patches. Free apps are also more likely to include malware, adware, or viruses.

Don’t download file sharing apps.

When in doubt, contact the Technical Support Center before downloading apps that aren’t specifically approved by WSU.
