Office 365 Support at Geneseo
These documents offer information specific to Geneseo users:
ℹ️ What happens when my account is removed?
If or when you retire, graduate, or leave the college you will retain access to Office 365 web applications as long as your Geneseo account is active.
If you require office desktop applications or your SUNY Geneseo account is removed, you will need to purchase Microsoft Office on your own.
When your subscription expires, Office software applications will enter read-only mode, which means that you can view or print existing documents, but you can’t edit them or create new ones.
To return to full Office functionality, you can purchase a subscription to Office by visiting Microsoft 365.
You could also use Office Online for free with your geneseo.edu account or you can create a personal Microsoft account.
