Current students, current employees, and emeritus faculty can download the full Microsoft Office suite for FREE as part of our Office 365 program on up to 5 Windows PC, Mac OS, and mobile devices.

You can use Office for free as long as you're currently a CC student or employee, or an emeritus faculty. After graduating or leaving employment, Office will switch into read only mode, and you won't be able to edit any Office documents until you provide a different license activation key (either by purchasing one directly or by getting a license from a different organization).

Installing Microsoft Office for free

Log into your CC email, and then head to the Office Portal:
