Monash staff will now have access to Microsoft Office 365 applications on up to five personal devices.

eSolutions are excited to announce that all Monash staff now have access to download Microsoft Office 365 on up to five personal devices for free. 

Monash students took full advantage of this promotion earlier in the year, with over 18,000 students downloading the applications.

What is included?

You can download the latest version Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Publisher and Access or use them online through a web browser.

How do I download the applications?

Using the personal device you wish to install Microsoft Office 365 on:

  • Visit Microsoft Online and enter your Monash email address – you do not need to enter your password at this stage
  • You will be automatically redirected to the Monash login page – please enter your email address and authcate password 
  • Now that you have successfully logged in, you will be redirected to the Microsoft Office 365 page to begin using Office online or to download to your personal device

What are the minimum system requirements?

Microsoft Office 365 can be installed on a range of devices. Specific minimum system requirements can be found on the Microsoft website.

How long can I use Microsoft Office 365 for and what happens if I leave Monash?

You have a free subscription while you are a Monash staff member or student. When you end your employment or studies at Monash, you will no longer have access to this subscription.

What happens if I purchase a new device?

You can install Office 365 on up to five personal devices at any one time. You control which devices Office 365 is installed on. If you replace your laptop, phone or any other device, simply deactivate the installation for that device. This will free up the licence so you can then install it elsewhere.
