Microsoft Office Suite

The Microsoft Office suite, including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, is installed and available on all University workstations. It is also free to active students and most full-time faculty and staff for work-related use on personal devices. Office for web or mobile is not enabled. After leaving PSU, access to the Microsoft Office suite is disabled.

Part-time faculty and staff may request a license by submitting an OAM Access Request (OAR). Other PSU-affiliated users who do not have a formal employee or student relationship with the university and who need access to Microsoft Office on a personal device to perform their PSU duties may request a license by obtaining an Affiliate account, then submitting an OAM Access Request (OAR).

Alternatively, if an employee needs access to Microsoft Office 365 for personal use, they can visit the Microsoft Workplace Discount Program page to purchase a discounted subscription.

Once you confirm eligibility by using your PSU email, a personal email is required to apply the discount. PSU accounts are not eligible for employee discounts.
