How to install Microsoft Office Desktop Applications on Windows or Mac
Active full or part-time UW-Stout students, faculty and staff qualify for use and installation of Office 365 products on up to five devices at no cost.

Install Using Outlook
- Log in to your Stout email from the Stout Logins page, logins.uwstout.edu. This will log you into Outlook's Web App.
- In the top left, click the grid icon and then Office
- In the upper right, select Install Office
- You will have two options. Most users can just click Office 365 apps to start the download.
- A pop up will appear showing the steps to finish the download.
- If you do choose Other install options, you will have the option to change the language and version of Office to install.
Having trouble installing? Microsoft maintains a troubleshooting site. NOTE: Account and product key issues addressed by this site are NOT applicable for UW-Stout's Office 365 accounts; no key is required.
Already have Office 365 Home? Microsoft recommends uninstalling the home version prior to installing Office 365 for Business.
Eligibility is limited to active students, faculty, and staff. Alumni and retirees are not eligible for installation of Office 365.
Support for the installation of Office 365 by the Technology Help Desk is limited to consultation. Computers must meet Microsoft's Office 365 system requirements and have internet access. Problems with installation may arise due to malware or hardware issues. The Technology Help Desk can only provide general guidance for resolving these issues and cannot service personally-owned computers.
