The University of Minnesota has paid for one Microsoft Office and one Windows license per student. Students must be currently enrolled at the U of M in at least one credit course. All software orders must be placed through the Microsoft student online order form, which verifies student enrollment and automatically charges your U of M student account. Students that select the media option pay for the cost of the CD set, which is less than $8. Software cannot be returned if it has been opened.

    • the order for an older version of Office for a Windows operating system (e.g. Office 2003) was placed before the new version of Office 2007 became available, and
    • the student is still currently enrolled in at least one credit at the U of M at the time they place an online order.
