Microsoft Office for students and staff has always been discounted and occasionally free, however it's usually a bit of a hassle. Office 365 is now available for students and teachers directly from the Microsoft website.

From what I can see the free subscription allows MS Office to be installed on 5 devices, which is pretty generous.

I tested my School email address (I'm a teacher), my uni email address and my daughter's school email address and they all worked.

I can confirm this is working for a large number of Australian education providers including schools, TAFE’s and Universities.

An Office 365 subscription includes the Office 2013 apps for PC and Mac (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access and Publisher) as well as 1 TB of OneDrive Storage and access to Office Web Apps.

Enjoy :)

      Office is for lifetime, Office 365 is a subscription service for 365 days.

      • luztra on 28/03/2015 - 11:43

        Make sure you use your student number (not name) as the username - e.g. 12345678@@student.curtin.edu.au.

        • praga on 28/03/2015 - 17:59

          Thanks alot, I'll give it a go

        • luztra on 14/04/2015 - 12:24

          @praga:

          Not sure if you got it working, but looks like this has been revoked by Curtin (i.e. no longer works for me).

    Works for Flinders Uni, but you have to use [email protected]

      Now works for Flinders Uni, where it didn't work last semester. Proviso: "Support for home computers is not provided", which means you can install it but they won't help you.

      Also the short link for Flinders is http://bit.ly/flinoffice365

    Is it possible to link this with your standard Microsoft Account? Hate to start all over again uploading and transferring my uni stuff between OneDrive accounts…

    • chonghe on 24/02/2015 - 23:42

      would love to, but don't think so

    • patchyz on 25/02/2015 - 22:17

      Yes, after install if you open up word (or whatever) up the top right you can 'switch accounts'.
      I originally downloaded it using my girlfriends school email. After install I switched accounts to my Microsoft account where all my other stuff is!
      Happy days!

  • cartman on 25/02/2015 - 03:28

    This worked for my school's *.wa.edu.au domain but not for my WA DoE address. I know the school hasn't purchased any subscription model directly so at least in this case it has nothing to do with any purchase. The DoE email came back saying 365 is not switched on like others above.

    Get the email fine (Adelaide uni email) but when I click the link to input details, get this error.

    "Sorry, that didn't work

    There's a problem on our end. We're working on it, so try again later."

    Any Ideas?

      Edit: It takes a while but it loads office, doesn't let you download an installer though.

      The administrator has disabled Office installations. Contact your administrator for information about how to install Office.

  • superforever on 25/02/2015 - 15:28

    Will the Office installed expiry after 1 year?

    • patchyz on 25/02/2015 - 22:19

      I believe so - Office 365 (365 days=1 year)

  • cardiology on 25/02/2015 - 19:49

    Just bought the University version 3 weeks ago from online store at $99 for 5 years subscription.
    Called their service centre and was told that they do not do refund after 2 weeks!

  • patchyz on 25/02/2015 - 22:14

    My girlfriend is a teacher, used her school email and my own password.

    It said "setting up" and did for 20 minutes and i tried it 2 more times and STILL did not work.
    3rd time it worked and went right through to a install page.

    Installed fine - after installation you can open up word (or what ever) and login with a different email address. I used my Microsoft account that is link with XBOX and it uses your own "cloud" storage opposed to the original email (my girlfriends school email).

    So good news! If your friends are students or teachers and they already have office. You can use their email!!
    Also installs on upto 5 devices, so you can probably share too.

    Now thats being a true tightass :)… i mean OzBargainer :P

  • jace88 on 26/02/2015 - 21:37

  • treeman on 11/05/2015 - 22:20

    I reformatted my computer and decided to reinstall office 365 today when I went through the normal channels to do so it no longer lets me.

    I'm a teacher in SA.

    Anyone else having any problems with it?
    Or know anyway to fix it?

    Thanks.

  • Agret on 29/07/2015 - 09:51

    Are you sure this is free for schools? I had my school signed up to the free Office 365 Education E1 but that does not include any Office apps except OneNote which is free anyway. To get Office you need Office 365 Education E3 which is $3.20/user/month, far from being free.

    • eug on 29/07/2015 - 10:43

      It's separate to the E licences. In your O365 licences screen where you normally see your E1/E2/E3 licences, it'll be listed as "Office 365 Education for Students".

      With that you get:

      Yammer for Academic
      Office Online for Education
      SharePoint Plan 1 for EDU
      Exchange Online (Plan 1)
      Office 365 ProPlus
      Skype for Business Online (Plan 2)

    • treeman on 15/08/2015 - 11:47

      I signed up for it a while back and it worked with no problem.

      Now it says my IT department has turned it off.
