Software
We discourage using any kind of free software available online, whether you use a University-issued machine or your personal device. Most free versions operate with lower performance/slower connection and are therefore less reliable. IT may not be able to support it as well. Without a contract, we also do not have an agreement for data security.
Using Personal Devices for Work
NDSU will not have laptops to check out for all staff who may need to work from home, so some employees may have to work using their personal devices. Use of personal devices is up to the discretion of supervisors.
