SU is participating in the Microsoft Student Advantage program.  Through the program, current SU students (undergraduate, graduate, and part-time) can download and install Office desktop applications on up to five computers (PC, Mac) and 5 mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android).  Office applications installed through the Student Advantage program have up to a four year subscription (as long as a student remains eligible).  After four years, the subscription will expire.  Current students can renew the subscription one time.  Students must connect any device with Office 365 ProPlus to the Internet at least once every 30 days for an automatic license check.

You can download Office 365 ProPlus using your SUmail student email account.  Staff and faculty who are taking classes at SU are not eligible to participate at this time.
