Microsoft updated their licensing model for Microsoft Office 365 earlier this year and, as part of the Division of Information Technology’s efforts to minimize cost increases and support GHC’s budget reduction efforts for FY2021, we have revised our contract as follows:

• Full-time staff, full-time faculty, and all students will continue to be able to use the Microsoft Office 365 applications for macOS and Windows computers as well as online by visiting portal.office.com. These users will also continue to be able to download Microsoft Office 365 to their BYOD-compliant devices.
• Part-time employees will be able to use Microsoft Office 365 applications online by visiting portal.office.com.

We realize this change may cause some inconvenience for our part-time employees. However, we believe that the web-based version of Office 365 provides all the functionality necessary to support the job responsibilities of our part-time faculty and staff.

All GHC Employees are also eligible to purchase a “work from home” copy of Microsoft Office 2019 for macOS or Windows for $15 from the University System of Georgia Technology Store using their work email address as the username.
