How to Download Microsoft Office 365 Free

Are you a student or faculty member at USC? Do you need access to Microsoft Office 365 free of charge? If so, this guide will walk you through the simple process of downloading and activating Microsoft Office Suite applications for Windows and Mac computers.

To get started, log in to your Apps & devices account using your USC NetID username and password. Once logged in, you'll be taken to the red USC NetID login screen. Note that staff and faculty members may need to contact their unit's local IT department if they typically use a different email address when prompted.

Next, enter your full USC address and click Next. If you haven't signed into other USC NetID single sign-on services for the day, you'll be taken to the Microsoft Sign-in screen.

To download Office software for your PC or Mac, head to the Microsoft Office portal at 'www.usc.edu/OLS/MySoftware.aspx'(http://www.usc.edu/OLS/MySoftware.aspx). From there, you can access the Microsoft Office Suite Setup installation software and start downloading.

It's important to note that not all USC accounts are eligible for a downloadable Office suite. Staff and faculty members from units that use different accounts as their primary computer and network account should check with their local IT group for instructions on accessing and activating the Office Suite applications.

In addition, departmental 'Organizational Accounts' and iVIP sponsored 'Affiliate Accounts' are not eligible for the downloadable Microsoft Office Suite applications.

Active students can activate their Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise installation using their account. And current USC faculty, staff, and students can download and activate the Microsoft Office Suite applications, also known as Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, for Windows and Mac computers.

Remember to check with your local school or department IT support to determine what version of Office they will support, including configuration for ongoing activation of the software. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to download Microsoft Office 365 free and start working on your projects and assignments right away.
