Currently enrolled students
can now use Office every day for school work and activities that are
most important to them. Office not only helps students stay organized and get their work done today but at the same time develops skills that will be
required when they enter the work force.
There is NO COST to download and run the
full versions of Office provided in the Student Advantage program. You can also

the copy of Office once I graduate or leave
UNA?
No. The install of
Office is tied to your username@una.edu email account. You must log into
Office 365 at least once every 30 days so Office can verify
that you are still an enrolled
student. If you are or were a student who is no longer enrolled and access to your email has been
removed, the office installs
you performed under the account will become read-only, so you will not be able to edit files with them.
UNA participates in the Microsoft Student Advantage
program. This program
provides free access to the full
versions
of Microsoft Office to
enrolled students for home use.
