Office 365 ProPlus is available to install on up to 5 devices (desktop and/or mobile) for students, faculty, and staff at no additional cost. The package includes programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. The numbered steps further below in this article will outline how to install Office 365 ProPlus. Before proceeding, please review the following:
- If you are a new or readmit student, you will likely only see Skype for Business available to install before the first week of classes when following the steps below. This is because the licenses will become active for Office 365 ProPlus sometime during the first week of a term. You should be able to return to step 5 at that point and see the install option.
- Students will only lose access to Office 365 ProPlus after not registering for classes for an extended period of time (3 full semesters). At this point, the programs will only work in a view/read only mode.
- More information about Office 365 ProPlus, mobile versions, and a FAQ can be found on the college’s website at: https://www.easternflorida.edu/administration-departments/it/office365.cfm
- The online version of Office 365 is also located in the titans email account. Click the button in the top left corner (9 dots in grid pattern) to access the available apps.
- Before installing the Office 365 ProPlus software, it’s recommended to uninstall any previous trials or versions of Office on the device. Please keep in mind this will remove the current version of Office from your device.
