Install Office 365

...from anywhere...

Every staff member and student is allocated licenses for Microsoft products

Faculty and staff can use these licenses even on personal devices.

DISCLAIMER: Don't forget, these are in conjunction with your employment and work through your school log-in/your professional school account, though. Anything done with school resources are just as accountable under Open Records Requests and similar public service obligations as anything else and all the ramifications that are associated with those liabilities.

ALSO: If you purchased a decommissioned laptop/device from the Technology Department, you may need to create a local account on the computer before you will be able to easily install programs. If that's the case, follow these steps, as well --> How To Create Accounts in Windows

Follow the steps below to gain access to the Microsoft Office 365 Suite:

This is the same username as you use on your computer which is usually your first name and last name with no spaces (capital/lower-case doesn't matter).

Enter your usual password

This will match your computer password; it is integrated with our network...

"Stay signed in?"

This is up to you. It is intended for convenience but is not secure on a public device (like if you logged in on a computer in a public library, per se). If this is on your personal device and/or behind your individual log-in, it does reduce how often you are asked to log in...

Click "Install Office"

...and the subsequent pop-up menu item to install...

Click "Office"

... at the bottom of the list and follow the remaining prompts as they walk you through the rest of the process!

All DONE!

Again...

All activity associated with your professional account fall under the usual employment agreements associated with accountability liabilities of Hudson ISD.

Thanks!
