Older versions of office download

As OIT continues the campus-wide migration of faculty and staff mailboxes to the O environment, campus users will find the most seamless migration experience occurs when desktop software has been upgraded to Microsoft Office ProPlus. Domain-joined PC machines on campus can download Office ProPlus from the Software Center, others can follow the instructions below for downloading and installing Office ProPlus.

Please note, if your machine is running an older operating system, including Windows 7 or Mac Sierra, it may not be compatible with Office ProPlus. Windows 7 machines and Mac Sierra machines that have Office installed can remain as they are until the operating system is upgraded to the latest version. Windows 7 machines that have Office installed should be upgraded to Windows 10 and Office ProPlus. Older Mac machines that have Office installed should be upgraded to the latest Mac OS and Office ProPlus.
