You can use the Office 365 Education plan as long as you are working at, or enrolled in, a qualified school. Your eligibility may be re-verified at any time. When your Office 365 Education plan expires:
The Office 365 applications enter a reduced-functionality mode, which means that you can view documents, but you cannot edit or create new documents.
Online services associated with the school email address—for example, Office 365 for the web and OneDrive—will no longer work.
If your plan expires, you can extend your plan by re-verifying your status as an educator or student, or by moving to an Office 365 personal plan.
Get free access to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint using Microsoft 365 for the web (formerly Office 365). Start today.
In many cases, the response time is instantaneous through an automated verification process. In other cases where an institution needs to be verified, it may take up to a month to confirm eligibility. If you are nearing the end of your 30-day trial and have not received approval of eligibility, please contact customer support.
Microsoft 365 builds on top of Office 365 apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook and provides enhanced management, security, and compliance tools. Learn more about Microsoft 365.
