Tip Tuesday – Free Office 2016 for Personal Computer

John Carroll’s Microsoft Office license agreement allows JCU ITS to make Office 2016 available at no cost to all JCU faculty/staff and students. The license allows you to install Microsoft Office 2016 on up to 5 personal computers (PCs or Macs).

It is important to note, this is only available to you while you are a current faculty/staff member or student at John Carroll. If you leave the University, your copy of Office 2016 will stop working.

Installing Office 2016:

  • To install Office 2016 on your personal computer, go to https://portal.office.com/.
  • Log in using your JCU email address (jdoe22@jcu.edu) and your campus password (the same password that you use to log on to University’s computer or authenticate to Canvas).
  • Click install now and you will be prompted to save an installer file from Microsoft appropriate for your operating system to your computer. After the download completes, launch the file to begin installation of Office.
  • You will activate the software using your JCU email address (jdoe22@jcu.edu) and your campus password (the same password that you use to log on to University’s computer or authenticate to Canvas).

If you have any problems with the setup, please contact the JCU Service Desk at 216.397.3005 or helpdesk@jcu.edu.
