Note: You need to be currently enrolled in a class for the license to be active for Office 365.

Step 2: Search for "Office365". Office365 can be downloaded as a bundle or your can download each individual app as needed. For example: if you only need Microsoft Word, you can download just Microsoft Word on your iPad and do not have to download the bundle. The option to download either the bundle or individual apps is totally up to you.

 

Step 3: Choose the app you need and click "get". You may be asked to enter your AppleID credentials to be able to download the app.

note: Verify that the Office365 application that you are downloading is in fact from Microsoft Corporation.

 

Step 4: Once the app is downloaded, open the Office365 app. The app should then ask for you to sign in. This the step where you will need your Cerritos College student email.
