FAQs

  • You can use the plan as long as you are working at a qualified school. Your eligibility may be re-verified at any time. When your Office 365 Education plan expires:

    • The Office applications enter a reduced-functionality mode, which means that you can view documents, but you cannot edit or create new documents.
    • Online services associated with the school email address—for example, Office Online and OneDrive—will no longer work.
    • If your plan expires, you can extend your plan by re-verifying your status as an educator, or by moving to an Office 365 personal plan.
  • In many cases, the response time is instantaneous through an automated verification process. In other cases where an institution needs to be verified, it may take up to a month to confirm eligibility. If you are nearing the end of your 30-day trial and have not received approval of eligibility, please contact customer support.

  • The OneDrive account is assigned to you but associated with the school and should be used for school-appropriate content. Permissions and access can be changed by the school’s IT administrator at any time.

  • Office 365 Education is individually licensed for use only by the eligible teacher. If you have colleagues who want to use Office 365 Education, they can get their own license on the Office 365 Education webpage.
