The Colleges have a campus-wide education license for ArcOnline, which is a cloud platform for ESRI’s ArcGIS mapping and spatial analysis software. As part of our license, HWS users with ArcOnline credentials can also access ArcGIS Pro, ESRI’s flagship desktop software.
Faculty, staff, and students wishing to gain access to ArcOnline (with ArcGIS Pro) for research or classroom use should submit a ticket to the Digital Learning Team here.
Once the Digital Learning Team has confirmed the user's credentials, there are two ways HWS users can access ArcGIS Pro: from select campus computers or on their personal device. See the TDX Article "Installing ArcGIS Pro on your personal device" for steps to download ArcGIS Pro locally.
Finding a Campus Computer with ArcGIS Pro
The campus computers with ArcGIS Pro include:
- Windows computers on the first floor of the library
- Windows computers in Rosenberg 009
- Windows and Mac computers in the MM Lab (Lib1002)
Logging in to ArcGIS Pro
To log in:
1. Open ArcGIS Pro on the desktop (use the Windows search bar to find and open the app if an icon shortcut is not available)
2. When the sign-in window opens, click on Your ArcGIS organization's URL
3. In the organization's URL field, enter hws
4. Click on the HWS User ID button
5. At the login page, enter the username associated with your individual account
- Your ArcGIS Pro username is your HWS ID (e.g., “MO4047”)
- Your password is the same as your HWS account login password
