How to Get Microsoft Office

Faculty, staff and all currently enrolled Ivy Tech students are eligible to download the Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus for free!

Notes for students:

• Before you install Ivy Tech's Office 365, you should remove any non-Ivy Tech Office versions.
• If you use a Windows computer, disable OneDrive at the Task Manager > Startup tab and remove Microsoft Office credentials from Credential Manager > Windows Credentials.
• You can only sign into the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint desktop apps. You cannot sign into Office 365 online.
• Students do not get OneDrive, Teams, or Outlook as part of Office 365 ProPlus package
• New students will not be able to use Office 365 apps until 24 hours after registering for classes.
