if you have a Union College email account, you have access to either use Microsoft Office online or download and install the most common Microsoft Office apps on your devices (limit of 5 installs). To get Office apps on smartphones or tablets, visit the app store of the device (such as the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Android)), download the app, and sign in with your Union credentials. For Windows PCs, use the below process.
