Office 365

Your GCU account gives you access to Office 365 applications. You can access these on your GCU-issued device, or on a personal device (for ease of access we would recommend being connected to the GCU VPN).

Access the 365 Portal by going to the Microsoft Office website and you will be presented with the screen below.
