Microsoft Project or Microsoft Visio (faculty and staff): Purchasing

Purchase Microsoft Project or Visio for a faculty or staff member

There are two ways to obtain Microsoft Project and Visio:  

Faculty Only:

Option 1:  Check with department to see if a departmental license of Azure Dev Tools For Teaching is owned (Ask Departmental administrator as IT does not have a record of which departments own these licenses).  If department owns license the department administrators should be able to point you in the right directions for downloading and installing the software.  If department does not own license of Azure Dev Tools For Teaching then go to Option 2.

Note:  Non-teaching-staff do not qualify for use of Azure Dev Tools For Teaching software per the campus' Microsoft license (MPSA agreement), which is an annual license fee paid by the department.  

Faculty and Staff:

Option 2:  Purchase through the Microsoft 365 campus license (Microsoft Project and Visio are not included in current 365 license agreement)
