Free Microsoft 365 licenses for students
Enrolled students can register for the Microsoft 365 apps and Microsoft 365 online services. This allows data to be stored in the Microsoft cloud (important: the data is stored outside the university's control on Microsoft's own servers), shared with other users and edited simultaneously. In order to use the apps and products, students must have their Uni-ID activated once via the university's Microsoft license portal. Further information & procedure can be found in the linked news article.
