While enrolled as an NYIM student, you'll have access to our computer lab with the latest versions of every Microsoft Office program available.

Purchase a Microsoft Office license if you are using any of the Microsoft Office programs at the advanced level. If you are only going to use the most basic features of the program and the program is available online, Office 365 is a better choice.

What are the differences between Microsoft Office and Office 365?

Microsoft Office is a licensed product that is purchased as a single program. Individuals and business can purchase a single license for one users or multiple licenses for employees in their office. As a physical product, the user can download program updates but is not entitled to free upgrades for newer versions. For example, if you purchase a Microsoft Office 16 product, you can download Microsoft 2016 updates from the Microsoft Office website for free, but you are not eligible to download a free upgrade to Microsoft Office 2019. Instead, you can purchase an upgrade. In contrast, if you download Microsoft Office 365, you will always have the latest version of the program available. If you purchase an Office 365 subscription for Microsoft Office 2016, the program would automatically update to Microsoft 2019 when it's available.

Despite getting the newest version, there are limits to Office 365. Certain Microsoft Office programs are not available as internet-based applications or mobile apps; these applications include Microsoft Access, Microsoft Publisher, and OneNote among others. In addition, the most popular Microsoft Office programs including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint have limited functionality on the web. In order to harness the full power of the program and have accessed to all of the features, you'll have to purchase a Microsoft Office license.
