Microsoft Office 365 is a line of subscription services offered by Microsoft, as part of the Microsoft Office product line. LSUE licensing allows installation on up to 5 different devices per user for all students, faculty, and staff. The account is tied to the user, not to any one device, so it allows seamless interaction between working on home devices and on mobile devices.
With Office 365, you can enjoy the following:
- Download the complete Microsoft Office suite on up to 5 devices (for employees this is for home use only)
- Enjoy 1TB of OneDrive storage
- Collaborate with colleagues/peers by sharing documents and other information from school, home, or mobile devices with ease
LSUE's 365 environment is accessible through https://www.lsue.edu/office.
