Faculty, staff, and students can download the latest version of Microsoft Office free of charge as part of the Microsoft Campus Agreement.
Note: Students leaving NUNM (by graduating or otherwise) and faculty and staff leaving NUNM (by retiring or otherwise) will need to purchase Office to continue using it. You will be prompted by Microsoft to purchase Office the next time you launch the software. If you don’t purchase Office, you will still be able to open the documents you created but won’t be able to edit them or create new documents.
Install Office
- Go to https://aka.ms/office-install and sign in with your NUNM email account credentials.
- Select Office 365 apps to begin the download.
- Once the download has completed, open Finder, go to Downloads, and double-click Microsoft Office installer.pkg file (the name might vary slightly).
Tip: If you see an error that says the Microsoft Office installer.pkg can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer, wait 10 seconds and move the downloaded file to your desktop. Hold Control + click the file to launch the installer.
- On the first installation screen, select Continue to begin the installation process.
Review the software license agreement, and then click Continue. Select Agree to agree to the terms of the software license agreement. Choose how you want to install Office and click Continue. Review the disk space requirements or change your install location, and then click Install.
Enter your Mac login password, if prompted, and then click Install Software. (This is the password that you use to log in to your Mac.)
The software begins to install. Click Close when the installation is finished. If Office installation fails, see What to try if you can't install or activate Office for Mac.
Launch an Office for Mac app and start the activation process
- Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock to display all of your apps.
- Click the Microsoft Word icon in the Launchpad.
The What's New window opens automatically when you launch Word. Click Get Started to start activating. If you need help activating Office, see Activate Office for Mac. If Office activation fails, see What to try if you can't install or activate Office for Mac.
