ITS is pleased to announce that there is a new way for Denison students, faculty, and staff to get Microsoft Office that allows you to…

  • Install Office on up to 5 compatible PCs and Macs, plus 5 tablets (including iPad) and 5 phones for free!

  • Use the unlimited storage available in Microsoft’s OneDrive to store and access files from any connected device. (This provides you with another cloud-based storage location in addition to your unlimited storage on Denison Apps Google Drive. Learn more here.)

  • Use Office Online (online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote) on ANY computer. See this feature comparison chart to learn how the online apps compare to the desktop versions.

The new site that provides all these options is called Office 365.*

*Students, faculty and staff have access to Office through Office 365 as long as they are enrolled at or employed by Denison and Denison’s Microsoft campus agreement is in effect. Due to the terms of the agreement, Office 365 is NOT available to alumni or to emeriti/retirees.
