Microsoft Office 365

[nvergara]

During orientation, it was mentioned that new students can get Office 365 for free for up to 5 devices. Can you please direct me as to how I would go about getting this program? Thank you.

Hi  @nvergara  and welcome to the Canvas Community!  This is a question that you are going to need to ask someone with your own institution.  I would try to contact someone in your IMT Department.  This page appears to have contact information, Information and Media Technology - Azusa Pacific University.  We have a similar option at my institution. Our IT Department has information for students on where to log in to download these licenses.

I hope this helps and best wishes!

Hi  @nvergara  Welcome to the Canvas Community.

Office 365 is fabulous. Here's a guide on how to download it Download and install or reinstall Office 365 or Office 2019 on a PC or Mac - Office 365. Often I just use the web version and simply google Office 365 and use my Department email to access it. 

Sing out if you need a hand.

Hello I'm Sasha!

Thank you so much for the helpful responses above! I have the software downloaded but now I can't actually use most of the tools on some of the programs. Am I at the right place for this answer?

Follow the instructions below. Just install with your student ID and it will automatically fetch all the details.

How to Install Microsoft Office
After you purchase Microsoft Office, activate and download the product. Detailed instructions are included in the packaging if you buy the software at a retail store or order a key card online from someplace like Amazon. If you order directly from Microsoft, you'll get the link in an email. There’s an "Install Office" link on the receipt.

1. Visit Official Microsoft Office Website and sign in with your Microsoft account or create a new account.
2. Enter your product key (or activation code). This product key lets Microsoft know the software was purchased legally. The key comes with any physical packaging you receive and is included in an email if you ordered digitally. Select your country or region and language, as well.
3. Select Install Office. After the installation file is downloaded, what happens next depends on which web browser you use. When you select Install, a dialog window at the bottom prompts you to either run the file, save it, or cancel. Select Run and work through the installation process.
4. If the User Account Control asks whether you want to allow the app to make changes to your device, select Yes.
5. Once you run the downloaded file, the installation process begins automatically. If Windows asks if you want to allow the installation, select Yes. If it prompts you to close any open programs, select Yes again.
6. The install is finished when you see the phrase, "You're all set! Office is installed now," and an animation plays to show you where to find Office applications on your computer. Select Close.
7. Microsoft Office is now installed and ready to use.

I Hope This Helps You Out.
