ArcMap is retiring and NU will not support ArcMap license anymore. Please start using ArcGIS Pro.
Esri has announced that ArcMap will be retired and removed from the Education Institution Agreement and Education Department License by March 2024. This means that ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) will no longer be available through the Esri Education Program.
We understand that this may be a challenging transition, and we would be happy to help you obtain ArcGIS Pro licenses and assist you with the transition. We have a wealth of resources available to help you make the transition to ArcGIS Pro, including online training, in-person training, and consultation sessions. Please do not hesitate to contact Bahare if you have any questions or concerns.

A GIS (Geographic Information System) is a computer-based means of storing, analyzing, displaying, and otherwise managing geospatial data - that is, any data that has a plottable or mappable geographic component. More than just a means of creating maps, GIS is a powerful tool for revealing and examining how geographic relationships affect the world around us, and for solving real-world problems where location and proximity come into play. Northeastern University Libraries offer resources and services to support students, faculty, and staff with research needs involving GIS.
