Introduction

Microsoft Office 365  is a  cloud-based secure office. With Office 365, you can access files anywhere, use 1TB of file storage for each user, and work with the rich features of the web version of Microsoft Office. Office 365 applications  include Outlook, online storage with OneDrive, and the ability to install the desktop version of the latest Office suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.)

You can access your Office 365 through this link, or by navigating to:

AU’s Website -> MyAU -> Faculty / Staff -> Email

Keep in mind that you need to log in using your username including the domain (i.e. x.lastname@ajman.ac.ae) and your password, which is the same as the one you use for the other services at AU.

Microsoft Office can be installed as an Office 365 user at Ajman University, this means that you have access to install Microsoft Office to your local computer at no charge. Office 365 can be installed using your AU account on up to 5 personal machines. 

The local installation includes the following programs: 

  • Windows: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Access, Publisher, Outlook, Skype for Business, and OneDrive for Business.
  • Mac OSX: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Skype for Business, and OneDrive for Business.
    • Note: Skype for Business formally Lync, and OneDrive, are both separate installs for OSX.

Note:

  • This Microsoft Office installation is only valid as long as you have an active Ajman University email account. Once you are no longer staff member at AU, you will need to purchase your own Office 365 package from Microsoft.

  • Microsoft Office installation is not available for part-time members; however, you can still access and use the Office applications on the web.
