Further information is contained in the email I received below:
Dear Professor Kuhn,
Old Dominion University has a site license for Mathematica,
which is available to faculty, staff and students. If you or
your students need help downloading it for upcoming work this
semester, let me know and I'll help get you details.
Many of your students will likely use Mathematica for their
spring courses even if it's not listed as a requirement. So would
you forward the links below to all of your students? These
training resources will help them get up to speed with
Mathematica and learn how to apply it to their coursework. The
first group of resources is great for beginners while the second
group is ideal for those who have used Mathematica in one or two
classes already. Mathematica should be installed prior to either
training.
Hands-on Start to Wolfram Mathematica
This tutorial helps students get started with Mathematica.
Students will learn how to create their first notebook, run
calculations, generate visualizations, create models to explore
examples from class, analyze data and more.

your course site/webpage or details on how to access Mathematica
or Mathematica Online through the site license, let me know.
