Office 365 - Using Microsoft Office Online

CBD-issued Microsoft licenses do not give students access to the desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. If you want to use the Microsoft Office desktop applications, you need to purchase a Microsoft Office. If you don't have your own license, you will not be able to open the desktop applications and log in with your CBD account. 

You do have access to Office 365, which is a web-only version of Outlook, One Drive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. You can use these to complete your assignments if you do not want to purchase the desktop license. 

To create new documents, you can login to https://office.com and use the left-side navigation to select the application and begin. If your instructor has provided a document to edit, use the steps below.
