How to Install ArcGIS Pro 2.8 (Students) 

 

All users using ArcGIS Pro will need to first request an ArcGIS Online account before downloading and installing the softwarehttps://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/using-library/book-appointments/working-data-request
All users must use their University of Guelph email address and will need to provide their academic status at UofG in their request (student, staff, faculty etc.). They will receive an email to their University of Guelph email account from the ArcGIS Online system with their account details when the account is created.
Instructors planning for their class to access the software need to send a request with a minimum of 5 days' notice and they will be provided with the required formatting for their class list so that class accounts can be created.
