Install Microsoft Office at home! Current Students, Faculty, and Staff can install the full version of Microsoft 365 (Office) on up to five personal devices. This includes all the applications that are installed on campus devices like Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint and Word. Follow the steps below from your Windows PC or Mac at home.
Download and Install the Office Suite
- Sign-in to your Outlook campus e-mail account at https://outlook.office365.com/owa/buffalostate.edu
- Open the upper-left App launcher menu, and click the Microsoft 365 link in the top-right of that panel.
- Choose the Install Apps button near the upper-right of the new page.
- Choose the Microsoft 365 apps download from the pulldown menu by clicking it, then open it from your computer's Downloads folder to begin the installation.
Uncheck the "Allow my organization to manage my device" option
- Once Office is installed, the first time you open an Office app such as Word you'll be prompted sign-in. Complete the sign-in using your Buffalo State email address and your Network password.
- When the "Stay signed in to all your apps" screen appears, make sure you uncheck the option to "Allow my organization to manage my device" and then click the "No, sign in to this app only" link (instead of the "OK" button). If you leave this box checked and click "OK," you're computer will be enrolled in Buffalo State's Azure/Intune environment.
- Because you are clicking the "No, sign in to this app only" link instead of "OK," you will need to repeat these steps the first time you open each Office app. For example, if you mainly use Word and Excel, you will need to do these steps twice (once for each app).
Please Note: If you mistakenly leave the "Allow my organization to manage my device" box checked and click "OK," you can remove your device from Buffalo State's Azure/Intune environment by going to Settings > Accounts > Access work or school > selecting your Buffalo State account and choosing the Disconnect option.
