The College recognizes the important role that the Apple hardware and software plays with the needs of our departments and programs. All University IT resources with the exception of personal homepage editing (MS Frontpage is needed for this) are compatible with Mac OS X Computers. Villanova University has a limited site license (only available for university-issued Macs) for Office for Mac, Adobe Acrobat Professional, and Endnote for the Mac platform.
