see the following website for information on how to get a copy of Visual Studio 2008 software.  

http://msdn05.e-academy.com/elms/Storefront/Home.aspx?campus=ucf_mis

Students need to login to that website with the user ID and password
they were sent the second week of classes. If you have
not received this email, you should check their knights.ucf.edu
account, or click the forgot password link on the MSDN website. User
information was sent to the primary email address they have on file in
myUCF. If you have signed up for a knights.ucf.edu (which is required
by the college of business), it will be sent there.

NOTE: When you are arriving in the MIS department office  you need to reserve
the software online before stopping in to pick it up, or login to the
MSDN site to download it.
Once they login to the website and select the Visual Studio software,
you will be given the option to check it out from our office or to
download it.
