Overview
Microsoft Office 365 is available for Penn College employees and students to download to five personal devices through the college's enterprise license.
It is best to review the system requirements and compatibility with earlier versions prior to beginning the install process. Users may be prompted to uninstall a previous version of Microsoft Office before installing Office 365.
Please be aware that this license will cease within 30 days of the employee or the student leaving Penn College.
