Microsoft Office Licensing Solution Found

Earlier this year Microsoft imposed a change to the licensing used by some faculty and staff on campus that limited the use of the Microsoft Office suite of products to the web.  This change by Microsoft did not alter any access to software used by students. 

While the web version of apps offer functionality most would need for common day to day tasks, we understand that there are some workflows that require the use of desktop applications. Thanks to the hard work of those in the Provost's Office and BFA/ITS leadership, a solution was found to allow us to license the desktop apps to active employees that would need it. If you find yourself needing the desktop applications, please submit a ticket to the ITS Help Desk requesting licensing. 

Thank you to those that were patient and worked with us while a more sustainable solution was found.
