Microsoft Access

What is it?

Access is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It's software that lets you build database management systems. Access probably isn't a terribly useful program for most college students, but it's there if you need it. Access is only available for computers running Windows.

How do I get it?

Pomona College offers the Microsoft Office programs to all students. Check out our Microsoft Office installation instructions to learn how to download and install Microsoft Office.

How do I use it?

That's a rather lengthy discussion to be going into here. If you need help using Access, check the Microsoft Access official home page, where you can find much more detailed information about the program and its use.
