Learning opportunities using ESRI's Virtual Campus

Our site license includes access to the new Esri E-Learning Training Center. It includes all recorded webinars and non-instructor lead web classes available on the new Training site.

The first document below is a guide that provides instruction on how to enroll and find web classes to learn ArcGIS software. Last updated February 27, 2020.

If you are taking any of these web-training courses, you will be using the ArcGIS software in conjunction with these online courses. You will need to access the course material through the website and not the software. You will also need to use your Esri user name and password that was generated when you accepted the e-mail invitation to join SU's ArcGIS Online account of SU's MyEsri site.

ESRI Software titles

Esri's ArcGIS includes the following extension pieces of software as part of our site license.
