Office software for students

As part of our district wide agreement with Microsoft, all DVC students will have access to download FREE Microsoft Office Pro software! Students currently have access to download the full version of Microsoft Professional Office Suite for use at home and on multiple devices. This is not the OWA version in the cloud… it is the full version just like we use in our computers labs. There is no catch as long as students maintain their “continuing student” status!

There is a link on each student’s portal page that shows them how to get their free software NOW. Student can find the link on their student portal page on the left hand side. Look for the "Office 365 Pro Plus Benefit for Students" link.
