Microsoft has announced a new self-serve program for
students at eligible schools that allows them to sign up for a free
Office 365 license on their own. The offer is available first in the US
and will roll out globally later this year.
The new program builds on the Student Advantage initiative
that launched last year. Previously, schools had to go through several
steps in order to approve free Office subscriptions, but now students
can sign up
online using their school email address. In order to qualify, students
need to be attending campuses that have purchased an organization-wide
Volume Licensing Program.
Students will get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote,
Outlook, Access and Publisher on up to five PCs or Macs. They’ll also
have access to Office apps on Windows tablets and the iPad, 1 TB of
OneDrive storage, and Office Online.
Education faculty will also be able to get free Office 365
ProPlus subscriptions, which include desktop versions of the
productivity software but lack email, web conference, file storage, and
site mailbox features, later this year if their campuses purchase an
organization-wide Office license. US-based teachers can start signing up
for Office 365 ProPlus in October, followed by international
availability later this year.
