Introduction
Your license for the downloaded Microsoft applications associated with your StarID account will no longer be authorized. You are not able to access the applications via the computer software installed on your laptop or desktop computer. You are still able to access these on a web browser by going to www.office.com and signing in as StarID@minnstate.edu
- You are still able to use the downloadable applications on a personal cell phone device or other devices smaller than 10.1" screen size.
Emeriti may individually purchase downloadable versions of Microsoft applications, however, they will need to be purchased through a personal Office 365 account and will not be associated with your St. Cloud State Office 365 account. The Microsoft Outlook application can be configured to access multiple email services, including SCSU email. Emeriti may contact HuskyTech for assistance in setting up their Microsoft Outlook application to access multiple email services.
