Download and Install Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (student install)

Introduction

The University of Wyoming possesses a Microsoft Campus Agreement with Student Option subscription, allowing enrolled students the right to install Microsoft Office and Office Mac suites and Windows operating system upgrades on their personal computers.

UW students have the option to download software over a high speed Internet connection or order the software on CD. UW Information Technology has partnered with e-Academy for distribution of Student Option software.

Downloaded software is provided at no cost when downloaded from the university server. CDs or downloads that are ordered from e-Academy must be paid for by the student. Students may choose to have the CDs shipped to them directly (media plus additional shipping charges) or pick them up at a campus location (charge for media only). Each student is entitled to one copy of each qualifying product.

See the Microsoft Campus Agreement with Student Option FAQ to learn about what software is available through this Agreement, how to attain and install the software, estimated costs if you choose to order the CD, whether you are eligible to run the software, and other pertinent information.\
