All MBU students, faculty, and staff are eligible to install Microsoft Office products on up to five devices.  MBU-managed computers have Office installed automatically, which does not use one of your five licenses. Please contact the MBU IT department for questions about Office on your managed computer.

  1. Navigate your web browser to https://portal.office.com.
  2. If prompted, select to log in using your Work or School Account.
  3. Enter your MBU username and select Next. You should see the MBU branding on the password entry box, and the web address should be login.microsoftonline.com. You should enter your MBU password only on microsoftonline.com and mobap.edu sites.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to expand)
 Will Office be identical on a PC, a Mac, and a mobile device?

No. Office applications are tailored to work best on each platform and device. The Office applications available for Mac users and the version numbers may be different from those available for PC users.

 What is Microsoft OneDrive?

Microsoft OneDrive is free online storage that comes with your Microsoft account. It’s like an extra hard drive that’s available from any of the devices you use.  Each user gets 1TB (1000GB) of OneDrive space for free.  Use this space to store documents, music, movies, and share them with others.

 How long is this offer available to me?

These Microsoft Office licenses are free to any full/part-time student and any full/part-time member of the faculty and staff.  After you leave the institution, your account will be deactivated automatically along with your access to MBU applications (My MBU Access, Learn, Life, etc.).
