Question:
As a current student of Lansing Community College how do I request Microsoft Office 365 A1?
Answer:
Microsoft provides us with Office 365 A1 for Lansing Community College students to use on their personally owned computers. Microsoft 365 A1 is the office suite that includes a limited selection of products chosen by Microsoft accessed on the web in the cloud at the Microsoft Office portal (http://portal.office.com/) after creating an account below. The software cannot be downloaded.
NOTICE:
- LCC does not provide support for the software or the support of issues that may arise from any use of the software itself
To Obtain the Software Create an Account
1. Go to Get Office365.
2. Enter your student email address username@mail.lcc.edu.
3. Select Get started. An email with a verification code was sent to your student email account.
4. Select I'm a Student.
5. Create your account, enter the verification code from your email, and then select Start. Microsoft will then guide you the rest of the way.
When the setup completes, you will have access to a select few MS Office programs in the cloud, which will be active as long as you are an active student at Lansing Community College. You do have to log into the cloud once a semester for Microsoft to automatically renew your license. See directions below.
