Microsoft Office for Faculty and Staff
JMU's Campus Agreement with Microsoft Corporation permits faculty and staff to install Microsoft Office on up to 5 personally-owned PCs or Macs, and Office apps on up to 5 mobile devices -- for free. This also gives iPad users the ability to edit files using the mobile Office apps. The benefit is available as long as you are employed at JMU.
Important notes:
- Do not use this to install Office on JMU-owned computers
- Affiliates and emeriti faculty/staff are not eligible for this program
- Students employed by the university (work study, student employment, graduate assistants, teaching assistants, etc.) are not eligible for this program; they have access through their Office365 Dukes account
