Just last week, Technical Services Office tweeted:
We’ve got Blue Knight pride. We’re giving every student free Office to help them be their best. http://t.co/ZVWx4ExZwC

You read it right. All students, administrators, and professors (everyone who has an @addu.edu.ph email) can get free copies of Microsoft’s Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and Excel.
Oh, you also get 1 TB of online storage from OneDrive for Business. Yep, 1 TB. (That’s like a free external hard drive.)
You still need to register. But, don’t worry, we have gone through all the steps:
1. Go to http://www.office.com/getOffice365
2. Click on that green button that says: “Find out if you’re eligible”.
3. Enter your @addu.edu.ph email
Your AdDU email is: [your initials][your last name]@addu.edu.ph. So, Maria Juan P. Reyes has an email of mjpreyes@addu.edu.ph, and username of mjpreyes.
4. Microsoft will send you an email. Log-in to your AdDU email at http://blueknights.addu.edu.ph
Log-in with your email and enter your password.
If you are using your default password, we recommend you change it as soon as possible.
5. Open the confirmation email and click on that looooong link.
The link will open an online form.
6. Enter all you credentials here.
7. Viola, you can now download the installer for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook.
Now, you have a legal copy of Microsoft Office for up to 5 computers. Yep, it’s legal. No need for tor***ts.
