Current TU students, faculty and staff get online storage through OneDrive, and the
full suite of Microsoft Office applications - including Word, Excel and PowerPoint
- at no cost. Through Office 365 Web Apps (online), documents can be accessed from
any device with an Internet connection.
Students: you must be enrolled for the current or next semester to access Office 365. You will
not be able to access after graduation, even with a valid NetID.
What's the difference?
Office is the suite of Microsoft applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Microsoft Office (M365) is the local desktop version of the apps, and is installed on TU computers.
Office 365 (O365) is the latest, most up-to-date online/cloud-based version of the apps. Use a browser on any device to access Office 365.
How to access
An active TU NetID is required, and you may have to perform Duo Multi-Factor Authentication when accessing Office 365 services.
