At-home access to Microsoft Office for faculty/staff

M365 Microsoft365 microsoft software faculty staff COVID-19

Install Microsoft Office at home! Faculty and staff can install the full version of Office on up to five (5) personal devices. This includes all of the applications that you use on your campus device - including Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint and Word. Follow the steps below from your PC or Mac at home.

Sign-in to your faculty/staff e-mail account at https://outlook.office365.com/owa/buffalostate.edu

Open the upper-left App launcher menu, and click the Office 365 link in the top-right of that panel.

Click the Install Office button that appears in the upper-right of the new page.

Choose to download the Office 365 apps file from the pulldown menu by clicking it, then open it from your download folder to begin the installation.
Once the package is installed (this may take some time) and you open any of the apps, you'll be prompted for a login, and you can enter your campus email address (ending in "@buffalostate.edu"), and complete the sign-in with your Network password. After you've successfully signed in, that login will automatically be carried over to all the Office apps.
