Introduction
Pima Community College offers free access to Office 365 for all staff and currently active students. This software is available online and can be downloaded onto personal devices, ensuring that everyone can utilize its tools both on campus and remotely. This article provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and accessing your Office 365 account and installing the software on personal devices.
Instructions
- Navigate to Office.com and enter the full Pima email address. Select Next and then enter the Pima password.
- When the Microsoft prompt for more information appears, select Next.
- Set a recovery method for the account by providing either a personal phone number or a personal email address. Microsoft requires a recovery method to ensure account security.
Microsoft prevents the use of Pima email addresses or phone numbers and will display an error if one is entered.
- Once the personal authentication information is entered, select Next, then select Finish.
- When Microsoft asks if you would like to stay signed in, select Yes.
- Selecting Yes ensures the application remembers the user credentials so you do not have to sign in every time Office 365 is opened on the current device.
- The page will redirect to the Microsoft Copilot AI dashboard. Select the Apps button in the bottom-left corner, then select All apps.
- On the Apps page, select the Install apps button in the top-right corner of the screen, then select Microsoft 365 apps to begin downloading the software.
Office 365 can be installed on up to 5 individual devices. Your Office 365 account will be active for as long as you remain active at the College.
