If you are a student enrolled in the current term, then you are eligible to use Microsoft Office 365. Please note that this version for students does not include Microsoft Outlook for email. Los Rios Gmail is the provided email service for students.
Important Note About Your Data
All data will be removed at the end of the current term. This includes any data stored in your OneDrive account. If you wish to continue using these documents, then you will need to find an alternative storage location. Each term, you will start with a fresh instance of Microsoft Office 365.
How to Log In
The password to access your Microsoft Office 365 account is separate from your Los Rios password. Your Microsoft Office 365 password was sent to your Los Rios Gmail.
