Software for Students
As a Delta College student, you get free access to several Microsoft products, including Microsoft Office 365 Suite and OneDrive for Business.
Microsoft Office 365 Suite
The Microsoft Office Suite includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook. You have access to the online version using your Delta College sign-in, but you can also install the desktop version for use offline. Once installed, you may need to sign in using your Delta College username and password to make full use of the software. It can remember your sign-in until your password changes or expires.
You may also wish to install Outlook on your mobile device to quickly receive important notifications from your Delta College email.
OneDrive for Business
OneDrive for Business is a cloud-based file storage platform that allows you to store and share files, as well as access the online versions of Microsoft Office 365 applications.
