LATEST VERSION OF MICROSOFT OFFICE FOR STUDENTS

No, that title is not a mistake, nor is it an April Fool’s joke. As long as you are a Clovis Unified student, you can download up to five (5) free copies of the latest version of Microsoft Office on your personal computers at home. When you are no longer a CUSD student, your software will de-activate.

Simply follow these directions to get your copies.

1. Using one of your personal computers, go to portal.microsoftonline.com and log in with your student
account. This will be the same username you use to log into the school computers followed by @my.cusd.com

The password is the same one you use to log into a school computer. If you can’t remember your password, ask your teacher to reset it. Once it is reset, it will be your first initial upper case, last
initial lower case, then your ID number. Click Sign in.

John Smith would sign in like this:

Username: johnsmith001@my.cusd.com

Password: Js150012345 (Upper case J and lower case s)
