IT Software for students and staff
Distance Education Software Access
With the University delivering instruction through distance education, special accommodations are being made so students can access software from their own computers. Below is a list of software that has been made available for students to install on their own personal machines along with a list of software for which we are still working to secure student access:

2 Factor Authentication
WMU has joined the many universities that use two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect students, faculty, and staff from data and privacy violations. 2FA adds an extra layer of security by sending a notification to your mobile device when you log in so that you may verify that it is you logging in and not a criminal. This is highly suggested but not mandatory for staff and faculty.
DUO 2 Factor Authenication
Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your online accounts. Verifying your identity using a second factor (like your phone or other mobile device) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if they know your password.
