Microsoft Office

Students and employees can use Microsoft Office for free on Luther-owned and personally-owned devices.

Office is preinstalled on Luther-owned computers, including those in labs and classrooms.

On personally-owned devices, students and employees can visit office.com to either use a web-based version of Office 365 or download the core Office 365 apps. Employees need to request download access from the Technology Help Desk.

Signing in

At office.com or within a Microsoft Office application, sign in with your Luther email address and Norse Key. If you’re asked, choose “Work or School Account”.

If you’re having trouble, see our Signing In to Luther Services guide page.

Installing on personally-owned devices

Current students and employees can download the core Office 365 apps to their personal device from the Office Portal. Employees need to request download access from the Technology Help Desk first.

Note: Mobile devices and Chromebooks can’t download and run the full Office suite.

Training

If you’d like general help using Microsoft Office, a good place to start is Microsoft’s documentation or LinkedIn Learning. If your questions aren’t answered there, contact the Technology Help Desk.
