Downloading and Installing Microsoft 365 Apps (For Free!)
As a UW–Milwaukee student, you are entitled to five free Microsoft 365 licenses. This means you can download and install applications like Microsoft Word, Teams, PowerPoint, and Excel on your personal computer—free of charge.
Note: The audio transcription feature is only available in Word Online (accessed via the Chrome browser.) This feature is not available in the Word app installed on a personal or lab computer.
Using a personal desktop or laptop computer, open a browser and go to http://login.microsoftonline.com.
Enter your UW-Milwaukee email address and click Next. If prompted, choose Work or school account. Enter your password and click Sign in.
In the Welcome to Microsoft 365 screen, click the Install and more button in the upper-right. In the drop-down menu, choose Install Microsoft 365 apps.
In the Office apps & devices section click Install Office. Affirm the prompts and follow the instructions to download and install Microsoft 365 and Office on your computer.
When the installation process is complete, open one of the newly-installed Office apps on your computer. When prompted, enter your UW–Milwaukee email address and password to sign in to the app.
