All students have to do to obtain access to Office 365 is visit , enter their East Bay email address, and then follow the link that will be sent to their East Bay email account in return.
Once students have signed up for the Office 365 subscription they will be able to install Office on up to five devices, including Apple computers, smartphones and tablets. Each subscription includes one terabyte of OneDrive cloud storage.
