Use Microsoft Office and Windows at Home
Information Technology offers the Work At Home program to UW faculty and staff (student employees are not eligible) as a part of UW's Microsoft Campus Agreement. The Work At Home (WAH) program allows current faculty and staff to install and use Microsoft Office and selected Windows Operating Systems at home for campus-related work. All UW benefitted employees are eligible to purchase and run one (1) copy of each product available through this agreement.
This offer is effective as long as Campus Agreement is in place, and the licensed individual is employed by the university. The Campus Agreement is in effect through July of each year. As long as Campus Agreement is renewed annually by the university, users can continue to use the software. Users will be required to remove the software from their home machine immediately if their employment with the University of Wyoming ends.
Eligibility
- Work at Home media (DVDs) are made available through Campus Agreement licensing only, which is available to current UW benefited faculty and staff on the University of Wyoming payroll. If a user is not a paid employee of UW with benefited status, then they are not eligible for Work at Home media.
- Cooperating agency (affiliate) employees are not eligible to receive Work at Home media. Affiliates are listed in the Web and phone directories as a courtesy by UW Public Relations. Affiliates are provided a Campus Express ID as a way to gain access to certain UW benefits designated by UW Human Resources. Neither of these records of identification grant entitlements to Work at Home media.
- Adjunct faculty and retirees are not eligible for Work at Home media.
- Student employees are not eligible for Work at Home media.
Installation CDs/DVDs can be purchased for a minimal cost, and are yours to keep. Installation does not require a Volume License Key, however, the software must be registered with Microsoft after installation to ensure continued functionality.

troubleshooting of WAH products on personally owned computers.
