  • Anything else that you think may be necessary for us to understand and find a resolution to your issue.


  • Software requests
    • Name of software and URL to download.
    • If there is a cost associated, please visit https://lts.lehigh.edu/services/software. If you have already paid for it, more information is below.
    • If the software requires a license, please complete the license form and provide a copy in your request.
    • If software is behind a paywall or account, please download the software, copy it over to Sol and provide location from where we can copy it for installation.
    • Who will be using the software?
      • We know that my favorite software is extremely popular, can/will be used by everyone on campus but we would like to know who specifically will be using it on Sol.


  • Account/Allocation requests
    • For faster response, please ask your faculty advisor to make the request.
    • Students making request should add their faculty advisor to the request. Request will only be approved after confirmation by faculty advisor.
