While Office 2021 LTSC is supported, it is our recommendation to install Office through your Office 365 account

Through the Microsoft Campus Agreement, the University of Wyoming (UW) provides the latest versions of Microsoft Office 2021 LTSC (for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems) for UW-owned computers. Supported versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system are also provided through this agreement. These specific Microsoft software installations are provided free of charge to departments. 

Cooperating agencies will need to make arrangements through the UW Microsoft Academic Select License Program to gain access to these resources. Further information on this program can be found on the UW Select Program Web page or call 766-3686. 

For ease of installation of this software, Information Technology (IT) provides network installation points. Access to these network locations is restricted to UW domain accounts, and the Microsoft licenses restrict the installation of these products to UW-owned computers only.
