Computer Skills: Microsoft Office Skills

This brief tutorial guide leads you to ways to brush up on your computer skills. It is useful for new students or students who may need some basic skills training.

Downloading Office

All enrolled students at BSCTC have free access to MS Office 365.   There's no need to use something else!  Here's how to download it.

Reminder that free authorization isn't forever.   You don't get it forever.   Occasionally you will have to prove that you're still enrolled, including logging into your KCTCS account from Office, about every 90 days to keep your Office license active.
I still can't get logged in! -  Check any home edition or trial versions, to make sure you're not logged in as your personal e-mail (bobsmother@gmail.com instead of agideon0001@kctcs.edu, for example).  MS Office works well on Windows and the worst on Chromebooks or iPads, where features may be locked out.  You can reach out to the library or IT to check any other issues.
