At-home access to Microsoft 365 Office apps

Download and Install the Office app package

1. Sign-in to your Outlook campus e-mail account at https://outlook.office365.com/owa/buffalostate.edu
    
2. Open the upper-left App launcher menu, and choose the Microsoft 365 link icon.
   
    
3. Choose the Install and more pulldown menu in the upper-right of the new page, then choose Install Microsoft 365 apps.
   
    
4. In the Apps & devices category on this new page, choose Install Office. This should download the installation file, which you can find in your computer's Downloads folder (open this file to begin the installation).
   
    

Uncheck the "Allow my organization to manage my device" option

1. Once Office is installed, the first time you open an Office app such as Word you'll be prompted to sign-in. Complete the sign-in using your Buffalo State email address and your Network password.
    
2. 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. 

3. 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).
