Download Microsoft Office

Employees covered under CASA are entitled to download MS Office on personal devices, including computers, iPads, and mobile devices. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to https://office.com and sign in using your AD credentials to access Microsoft Office apps online.
  2. After you log in, select the “Install Apps” dropdown located on the top right side of the screen and then select Office 365 apps or Other install options to download the apps.

By using this method, your Microsoft Office license is tied to your UC San Diego credentials. If you separate from the university, your Microsoft Office license will stop working. 

Please note: accounts need to have the @ucsd.edu and not @eng.ucsd.edu or any other extension as this will cause issues with the installation/activation of the software.
