Staff and registered students will be prompted for their Office 365 login for a number of University IT systems.

If you cannot log in please go to the Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) portal. If you are still having issues accessing Office365 or any IT system that requires  Office365 account details, please contact the Service Desk.

There are two ways of using the Office applications:

• Downloading Office Apps to your desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet
• Using Office 365 online

NOTE: If you have a trial version of Office on your computer you should uninstall it before installing Office.

Important: Once you are no longer registered as a student, or are no longer employed by the university, access to Office 365 will cease.  This includes any copies of Office that you have downloaded under your University credentials to your devices and access to OneDrive. You should backup any data you have stored on OneDrive before you finish here in University of Galway.

Agency Staff: If you are a temporary agency worker, you should download Microsoft Office to your workstation/laptop using the ZENworks application in your taskbar.
