    • Online services associated with the institution email address—for example, Office 365 for the web and OneDrive—will no longer work.
    • If your plan expires, you can extend your plan by re-verifying your status as an educator or student, or by moving to an Office 365 personal plan.
  • Get free access to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint using Microsoft 365 for the web (formerly Office 365). Start today.
  • In many cases, the response time is instantaneous through an automated verification process.

If you are nearing the end of your 30-day trial and have not received approval of eligibility, please contact customer support.
  • Microsoft 365 builds on top of Office 365 apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook and provides enhanced management, security, and compliance tools. Learn more about Microsoft 365.
