With a Cal Poly account, students, faculty, and most staff get access to the Microsoft 365 web-based suite of apps including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and cloud storage and sharing with OneDrive and SharePoint. This package also includes five free downloads of the Microsoft 365 suite of installable software for Mac and Windows to use on personal computers.
Faculty & staff with state-issued/maintained computers can use Software Center (on Windows) or Self Service (on Mac) to install Microsoft 365 software.
Campus computer security policy prohibits use of a personal Microsoft account on state-owned/ITS managed devices.
