Installing Microsoft Office for Home Use

Current faculty, staff, and students are authorized to install Microsoft Office for home use. There is no charge for the install and you are authorized for 3 installations under one account (PC and Mac or a combination). Note, this is only available for Windows or Mac OS. It is not compatible with Chrome OS or Chromebooks.

To install Microsoft Office on a Mac or PC, start by going to the following page:

https://portal.office.com

When you get there:

1. On the Sign In screen, you'll need to enter in your FULL Evergreen email address.
2. Use your Evergreen password (the same as you use for my.evergreen)
3. The Office 365 Portal will load.
4. In the top right corner, click the "Install Office" button, and then select the "Office 365 apps".
5. The will start to download. It's a 1.5GB file so it could take awhile.
6. From there, you'll be prompted to save the file. Once the file has downloaded, follow the instructions on the screen to install the program.

1. Be aware that at the end of the install, you'll be prompted again to sign in. You'll use your Evergreen user name and password again. At this point the install should be complete and you are ready to use Office.
