Wesleyan campus community members can take unlimited ESRI Virtual Campus courses or their Live Training Seminars (via the web). Virtual Campus courses are asynchronous online courses authored by ESRI.  An access code must be obtained to take a Virtual Campus course (for Live Training Seminars, no access code is necessary). Contact Jolee West ( jwest@wesleyan.edu, x2763) to obtain a code--be sure to indicate in your request the name of the course(s) you want to take.

Off-campus Use

Wesleyan's ArcGIS limited site license includes 10 hardware dongles, or keys, that permit a user to use ArcGIS, ArcEditor, or ArcInfo off-campus, such as in the field where a VPN connection to campus is not available. Hardware keys are available for field-use by faculty or students doing thesis research.

Additionally, ArcPad provides database access, mapping, GIS, and GPS  integration on mobile devices.

ESRI Annual Conference

The limited site license also include 3 complimentary passes to the annual ESRI User Conference. To obtain a pass, contact Jolee West (x2763, jwest@wesleyan.edu). Passes will be provided on a first-come-first-served basis.

GIS Mailing Lists

A mailing list for campus ArcGIS members exists. Join by sending email to join-arcgis_users@lyris.wesleyan.edu.  

Also, there is a GIS mailing list offered as part of the GIS Initiative of the National Institutes for Technology in Liberal Education. To subscribe or unsubscribe to the mailing list, visit http://lists.nitle.org/mailman/listinfo/gis .

ESRI Support

The ArcGIS Site license includes technical support. All support questions and issues (e.g., how to do a particular task in the software, problems and bug reports) should be sent to Jolee West (jwest@wesleyan.edu). The license requires communications with ESRI to be conducted in this manner.
