Access via the Web:

1. Open up a web browser and navigate to go.parkland.edu/office. 
2. Enter your ParklandOne username and password and click Sign in. You will then need to authenticate through Okta.
3. You will be greeted by Microsoft's AI chat-bot service called Copilot. To see all other available Microsoft 365 apps, click Apps on the left side of the screen. Click on the item you would like to open. The web-based apps are a great option as they can be accessed from any computer/tablet/phone that has internet access. The latest version of Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari is recommended. The web-based version of Word is not recommended for students taking Humanities courses as many instructors require the installed version of Word.

Install the Microsoft 365 Suite:

If you would like to proceed with installing the apps on your personal computer (Windows or Mac), review the Microsoft 365 - Hardware / System Requirements for Client Install and then click Install apps in the upper right from within the Apps page referenced above. Select Office 365 apps and proceed through the appropriate device specific instructions below.

NOTE: You may download and use up to five copies of Microsoft 365 at a time. Microsoft will sign you out of devices automatically to stay within your sign-in limit. It can take up to an hour to install the Microsoft suite. Please allow up to 2 hours for all services to be available. Complete Windows and Mac install instructions and screenshots can be found on the following Microsoft support page: Download and install or reinstall Microsoft 365

Windows Devices:
