Installing Microsoft 365

Students can download and install the current Microsoft 365 (for Windows or MacOS) on up to 5 devices for free.

Simply log in to your Colby-Sawyer Office 365 email account and click the "waffle" icon at upper left corner. On resulting menu, click "Microsoft 365" icon at top left. Click "Install and More" button at upper right, then click "Install Microsoft 365 apps". On the following "My account" page, click the button: Install Microsoft 365 apps. A small setup file downloads, click that and the install process begins.

Be sure you have a good connection to internet and a fully charged battery (or plug in power adapter) as the process will take a while.

Note: Chromebooks, tablets and iPads cannot use this installation process. Please visit whatever app store is available for your device. Alternatively, the Office web apps can be used in lieu of installed desktop versions.
