Office 365

Under the terms of the CRUI/MICROSOFT agreement, the University provides free use of Microsoft Office 365 tools to Professors, Technical/Administrative Staff, and Students via their institutional email.
If student career ends or if staff terminate their legal relationship with the University, the right to use this service also ends, and users have 30 days to remove and/or save their content.

What the license includes

The Microsoft Office suite includes tools for study, productivity, communication, and collaboration:

• Office Applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote, available in desktop, web, and mobile versions; Access for Windows PC.
• Multi-device installation: Office applications can be used on up to 5 devices.
• Microsoft Teams: meetings, chat, and team collaboration.
• OneDrive and SharePoint: storage, sharing, and collaborative document editing.
• Windows Enterprise/Education: installation and activation of the Windows edition covered by the license, in compliance with Microsoft requirements and the license assigned by the University. Up to 5 eligible devices can be activated simultaneously per user.

How to obtain the license – STUDENTS

To activate access to Microsoft 365 Education, you must have your institutional email address @studenti.unitus.it.

1. Go to the Microsoft 365 Education activation page.
2. Enter your institutional email address @studenti.unitus.it and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. If required, complete the email address verification using the message or code received in your institutional inbox.
4. Complete the registration wizard or, if you already have a Microsoft Education account with an @studenti.unitus.it address, sign in.

Once completed, sign in to Microsoft 365 using the institutional account used for activation; your Microsoft password is the one chosen and set during registration.

How to use the license – PROFESSORS AND TECHNICAL/ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF

The Microsoft 365 account is automatically created and synchronized following the creation of your University user profile upon hiring. Independent registration is therefore not required.

Accessing the service

1. Log in to Microsoft 365.
2. Enter your institutional email address @unitus.it.
3. If prompted, select “Work or school account”.
4. Sign in using your University institutional credentials (the same ones used for email) and complete any required security verifications.

Once logged in, you will be able to use the applications and services available based on the assigned license.

Installing Office applications:

On workstations managed by the University, the installation is already included on the assigned PC.

1. Once authenticated in the Microsoft 365 portal, select “Install apps” and follow the instructions to download and install the package.
2. When finished, open an application, such as Word or Excel.
3. When prompted, sign in with your institutional account @unitus.it or @studenti.unitus.it to activate the license.

Warnings

For newly created user accounts, you may need to wait for synchronization to complete. If access continues not to work or the expected applications are not available, contact the designated IT representatives to check the status of your account and license assignment.

Access is granted exclusively through the institutional account; the availability of individual services depends on the permissions and configurations adopted by the University.

Technical support for the Office 365 suite is not provided by the IT and Telecommunications Service, which remains available only for issues related to license activation.
