Setting Up Microsoft Office

Installing Microsoft Office

Before installing Office, uninstall any previous versions of Office to avoid licensing issues.

To install Office:

Click the following link: Download Microsoft Office 365 for Windows and Mac | Microsoft 365
Select Download for Windows/MacOS
After downloading, run the OfficeSetup.exe/pkg/dmg
It will run an installer which can take an hour or two to install. It might disappear in the background for windows, click the carrot to check the progress of the install.
After it's done installing, open an application and sign-in. The license should apply properly with your @hawks.rockhurst.edu account.
If you experience difficulty, try reading through Microsoft Office Install Troubleshooting, or by giving the helpdesk a call.

Office 365 will come with Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Teams, OneDrive, and more. Please note that your license is only enabled while you are a current student.
