As of August 1, 2024, Microsoft updated its licensing model for educational institutions. This change affects who can install Microsoft Office 365 on personal devices. Guide: Microsoft Office 365 | CGC Help

What This Means for You: Full-time faculty and staff still have access to download and install Office 365 on personal home computers. However, part-time and adjunct faculty no longer have access to install the desktop applications and can only use the web-based versions through the  portal (m365.cloud.microsoft). You can continue to access the web versions (including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) by signing in at portal.office.com with your MEID@maricopa.edu login.
