I will need to download Microsoft office onto my new computer. Does the university include that? If so where can I find it?
Answer
Currently enrolled students and Faculty / Staff can obtain a copy of Microsoft Office for Windows or Apple computers, or the Windows operating system (for home use), through an agreement between The University of Akron and Microsoft.
The University of Akron has two different programs which allow students to access Microsoft Office software. Each program contains specific criteria, so you should carefully consider each option, although you are not required to choose only one. Microsoft Windows is only available through the download page that can be accessed through MyAkron (On the technology tab).
