Office 365 ProPlus
Office 365 ProPlus installations are being offered to all active Students, Faculty, and Staff members through Syracuse University's licensing agreement with Microsoft. Through the program, current SU & ESF students (undergraduate, graduate, part-time, and non-credit) and SU staff and faculty (Not ESF Staff or Faculty) can download and install Office desktop applications on up to five computers (PC, Mac) and five mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android). Project Advance students are not eligible for Office 365 ProPlus.
NOTE: ESF students may need to change their password if they have problems with downloading the app, or if there is a "Read Only" mode message.
Office applications installed through our licensing program remain activated as long as a student or staff/faculty remains eligible. When you graduate or leave the university, the subscription will expire. All users must connect any device with Office 365 ProPlus to the Internet at least once every 30 days for an automatic license check.
