Active Auburn students who are enrolled in classes and active Auburn employees can access Microsoft 365 online applications and install the desktop versions. Your license allows you to sign in on up to five devices. Once your account is no longer active, any installed desktop applications will stop working.

Follow the instructions below to install the Microsoft 365 desktop applications. 

1. In a web browser, navigate to owa.auburn.edu, log in with your Auburn email and password, and authenticate with Duo. After logging in, you should see your Auburn email.

2. Click the nine small dots (app launcher) in the upper-left corner of the screen. 

3. Next, click More apps.

4. A new window should open up, with Apps as the default tab on the left-hand side. Click Install apps in the upper-right corner, and then click Microsoft 365 apps.

5. From the Apps & devices tab on the left-hand side, click Install Office. (Note: You can also install Office from the My account tab.) An OfficeSetup.exe setup file should begin downloading. When the download is complete, you can start the installation process. 

Tip: Under Apps & devices, you can click the drop-down arrow next to Devices to see which of your devices already have Microsoft 365 installed, and you can sign out of Microsoft 365 on those devices from here as well. As a reminder, your Microsoft license allows up to five logins across different devices.

6. Follow the steps shown on your screen to complete the installation.

 

After installation, if you are prompted to sign in to a Microsoft application, use your Auburn email address and password to log in. 

Should you need any assistance downloading the Microsoft 365 apps, please contact the IT Service Desk at (334) 844-4944.
