Office 365 “How to” Guide How a Student can verify a personal subscription to “Microsoft Office 365 University”

Office 365 is a web-based version of Microsoft Office, purchased by subscription. The University of Exeter does not currently provide Office 365 to students, other than for email. However students may obtain a discounted subscription by their association with the University. Please note: This subscription is made between the Student and Microsoft directly. The University cannot negotiate on the students’ behalf, or provide technical support for Office 365.

The following slides show the screen flow for a Student purchasing a personal subscription to Microsoft’s “Office 365 University” edition, and the selections they must make to verify their status as a student. Note: a personal O365 subscription can not currently be tied to a UoE O365 account
