Overview 

Office 365 is a free suite of programs that includes Office applications.

In addition, you can install all of the same apps locally on up to 5 PCs or Macs, 5 tablets, and 5 mobile devices.
 
Faculty and staff may still use a local version of Office Professional by installing the Campus Agreement offer for University-owned computers through the WebStore.

Exchange online is the common email and calendar solution that is available to faculty and staff.  This is a separate service from Office 365.
