By special arrangement, Chemistry Graduate students can get the full MS Office suite for $9.95 for use on the grad's personally-owned computer.

When you don't have to buy the software

MS Office can be installed for free on any Cornell "institution-owned" computer (Any computer purchased with any Cornell funds, or given to the University). University licensed software needs to be removed if the computer ownership is transferred.

Here are the 2 steps:

1) Obtain the Microsoft Home Use Program Code.

Contact ChemIT. (Future: Have PatH's office gate access to the Code? Provide to each Research Group's IT Representative?)

2) Purchase Microsoft Office Employee Home Use Program License. Link to purchase available at:
