Installing Software Using Jamf Self Service

If your University-owned Mac or iOS device is not enrolled in Jamf, please submit a Jamf enrollment request.

The Jamf Self Service portal will be installed on all Mac computers that are managed by the Office of Information Technology. The Self Service portal allows OIT Technicians to "send" applications to your computer, so that you can download them at your convenience, and without the need for administrative rights. All of the software available in the Self Service portal is campus approved.
