Full list of current access to ArcGIS as of 20170213

  • I added the times when Ginger 213 is available to the course blog. Ginger 213 Computer Lab Times – CRIM399
  • I can let people in Ginger 213 when it is closed but does not have a class scheduled.
  • Did you pick up an ArcGIS student copy? If so you can install that on one personal computer.
  • There are a few library computers with ArcGIS, but be aware that they have not been upgraded to the current version so they might be a little different (they should work for textbook tutorials fine).
