Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 365 are now available for all current students at Alcorn State University… for free! Microsoft Office 2016 is the latest version of the popular and powerful family of software including Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, and more.

What is Office 365?

Office 365 is a new version of Microsoft Office that works online; this means that, once you register, you will have the ability to access special, online versions of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel from any computer with an Internet connection.

How long do I get to keep my Office 365 account?

Your University Office 365 account will work for as long as you’re either an active student or active employee of the University. More specifically:

  • If you’re a University student (and not a University employee), your account will deactivate about a few weeks after you graduate or withdraw from the University.
  • If you’re a University employee (and not a University student), your account will deactivate about a few weeks after you graduate or withdraw from the University.
  • If you’re both a student and a University employee, your account will deactivate about a few weeks after you are both no longer a student and no longer an employee.
