The University of the West Indies, Mona Campus now offers all our students Microsoft Office for free! The Microsoft Office product permits users to store and share documents online, undertake research, as well as to message and video conference.  The new tools are described as perfect for enabling individual school assignments, group projects and the business of student clubs and societies. This package features Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher, Access, Lync, One Note and Outlook.

By following the steps below you can install office on up to 5 of your personal machines. Once installed, the application will "contact home" once every month to see if you are still a registered student. If it gets a positive reply it will be ok for another month. Once you leave the university it will enter a state of reduced functionality until you purchase a license.
