Information
Students can create a Microsoft account with their GRCC email address by following the article on setup for personal devices. Essentially they visit the Microsoft education page and click Get Office free. It's also possible to create the account manually with administrative access.
Note: This method of creating accounts is currently not approved and should not be used. While we may manage these licenses in the future, we do not right now and students are encouraged to create their own accounts.
