Active Auburn students who are enrolled in classes and active Auburn employees can access available online applications and install the desktop applications of Microsoft 365. You have five licenses that can be used.  When your account is no longer active, these downloaded desktop applications will no longer work.

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

1. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 email account at owa.auburn.edu using your Auburn email and password. After signing in, you should see your Auburn email.

2. To access online Microsoft 365 apps, click the nine small dots in a square pattern in the upper-left corner of the screen (this is referred to as the "app launcher"). 

3. Next, click Microsoft 365.

4. Click Install and more, and click Install Microsoft 365 apps.

5. From this Apps & devices tab, click Install Office. An OfficeSetup.exe setup file should begin downloading, and when that download is complete, you can start the installation process. Note: You can also install Office from the My account tab as well.

Note: From this screen, you can also click on the drop-down arrow next to Devices to view which of your devices may already have Microsoft 365 installed, and you can sign out of Microsoft 365 on devices from here as well.

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