Office 365 Apps
Through the University's subscription to Office 365, UNOH students, faculty and staff can download and install Microsoft Office for FREE. What this means is that UNOH current students and employees can now install Office onto their personal devices and use the software for free for as long as they are a current student or employee at the university.

We are happy to pass along this tremendous value for use by our students, faculty and staff.
