What do you get with Office 365? It’s the most current version of the Microsoft Office productivity apps you’ve used for years: Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint, SharePoint and Teams. OneDrive cloud storage allows you to save, share, and access Microsoft files from anywhere you have an internet connection. (If you don’t have an internet connection, you can still work–your document will save to your device and sync when you get another connection.) MBU does not enable the installation of Microsoft Outlook. You should use your University-provided Gmail and Google Apps accounts for for email and calendar functions.
