Install Microsoft Office At Home

All Settle College students and full time staff are able to download and install the latest version of Microsoft Office under our Office365 subscription. The subscription allows you to install Microsoft Office on up to 5 devices (PCs or Macs).

Please note that the software requires you to be signed in with your College email account for this to work and remain licensed.

 

Step 1

Log into your email account by either going to www.outlook.com/settlecollege.n-yorks.sch.uk

At Settle College webmail logs you in automatically, however at home you need to provide your full email address and password, for example:

Email Address: YourUsername@settlecollege.n-yorks.sch.uk
Password: MyPassword

Staff should note that their email address is different and will be first initial . surname rather than username.

 

Step 2

When you have successfully managed to log into your email account click on the "Office365" button in the top left:

 

This will take you to the Office365 landing page which includes all of your available online apps and also the download link for Microsoft Office:
 

 

Select a download location on your computer and save the installer. Then follow the instructions provided by the Microsoft Office package:

 

Step 3
