U of M Microsoft Campus Agreement Software Program for Students

 

Over 56,000 orders have been placed through this program in the past two years. See historical software reports

The University of Minnesota has paid for one Microsoft Office and one Windows license per student. Students must be enrolled in the current or a future semester at the U of M in at least one credit course. All software orders must be placed through the Microsoft student online order form, which verifies student enrollment and automatically charges your U of M student account. Students have the option to pick up the software at a campus location or have it shipped directly to them (for an additional charge). Students are eligible for only one version of the software through this program, until a new version of the software becomes available in their computer platform (e.g. Windows operating system or MacOS). The software media packets are less than $15 each. Software cannot be returned if it has been opened.
