Faculty, staff, and students can download the latest version of Microsoft Office free of charge as part of the Microsoft Campus Agreement.


Note: Students leaving NUNM (by graduating or otherwise) and faculty and staff leaving NUNM (by retiring or otherwise) will need to purchase Office to continue using it. You will be prompted by Microsoft to purchase Office the next time you launch the software. If you don’t purchase Office, you will still be able to open the documents you created but won’t be able to edit them or create new documents.


Install Office

  • Go to https://aka.ms/office-install and sign in with your NUNM email account credentials.
  • Select Office 365 apps to begin the download.
  • Once the download has completed, open Finder, go to Downloads, and double-click Microsoft Office installer.pkg file (the name might vary slightly).


The Downloads icon on the Dock shows the Office 365 installer package


Tip: If you see an error that says the Microsoft Office installer.pkg can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer, wait 10 seconds and move the downloaded file to your desktop. Hold Control + click the file to launch the installer.
