With full access, you can download and install the Microsoft Office suite on up to 5 personal computers. (Note: Adjunct faculty members are only provided full access to Office 365 when they are actively teaching.)
- Limited Access: Faculty affiliates who are not paid directly by Rowan University, including but not limited to clinical faculty at CMSRU, custodial staff, emeriti, affiliates who have not been issued a University-owned computer and employees and students whose Rowan NetID accounts are expiring receive limited access to Office 365.

What happens to my access to Office 365 after I graduate or leave Rowan University?
You can use the plan until you graduate or until you are no longer enrolled or no longer employed at Rowan University.
When the plan expires, the Office applications will enter a limited functionality mode that allows documents to be viewed but not edited. You also won't be able to create a new document. Other online services, such as Office Online and OneDrive, will no longer function.
How do I deactivate a license from a computer?
In the event you've used up all five of your designated installations from the Office portal, you can reclaim licenses by deactivating machines that are no longer using the Office suite.
