Microsoft Office for faculty and staff
All current faculty and staff at Rutgers have the ability to download and install Microsoft Office on personal devices through Rutgers Connect.
The university’s agreements with Microsoft allow faculty and staff to install Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Publisher, and Access on up to five computers, five tablets, and five phones.
Faculty and staff may use the Microsoft Office software on personal devices. Please consult with your department’s IT support staff before installing Office on Rutgers-owned devices, as your department may have its own policies.
Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Skype, OneDrive, Publisher (PC only) and Access (PC only) are included in each installation of a faculty/staff license for Office.

How long do I have the Microsoft Office products for?
All faculty and staff will have an active license to use Microsoft Office products while they are employed at Rutgers. Once a faculty or staff member departs the University, the license will expire. A faculty or staff member will have 30 days after losing the faculty/staff role before the Office applications go into a read-only mode with limited functionality.
