How to download and order MSDNAA software

MSDNAA software is available for Cuyamaca College students enrolled in at least one class in CIS Department.

Your MSDNAA account will be created by the third week of the semester so you can have access to the software titles.

Below are the steps to obtain a copy of Access 2007. Other titles which are available for download will follow the same steps.
Some titles are only available for purchase at the highly discounted MSDNAA price.

Retrieve your MSDNAA userid and password from your college email account by click on the campus e-mail link.

If you don't see the email from the MSDNAA program and you have never taken a CIS class before at Cuyamaca
then you need to verify that your instructor has requested that your class have MSDNAA accounts.

If you have previously taken a CIS class then you may need to have your password reset and sent to you.
If you need your password reset then send an email from you student email account to cheryl.alvarez@gcccc.edu including
1. the class you are currently enrolled in,
2. your instructor name
3. and state that you are requesting that your password be reset and sent to you.
