Southeast Technical College is now utilizing Office365 for students who need Microsoft Office for their classes. Office365 allows students to download and install the Microsoft Office Suite and use it while they are enrolled in classes at Southeast Tech. The license is attached to your Southeast Tech email account, and will automatically deactivate when your email account is removed (1 semester after graduation, or immediately upon withdrawal from Southeast Tech).
