I am using my personal device, how do I download and install Office 365 Pro?

Any student who is currently enrolled at YES Prep is eligible to download and install Office 365 Pro applications on up to 5 personal devices (PC, MAC and mobile device).

Students should follow the directions in the guides below to download and install Microsoft on their devices. If a student is using a YES Prep issued device, they do not need to download Office 365 Pro as it is already installed on the device.
