Hi everyone,

My name is Mike Tholfsen, and I am a Principal Program Manager for Office 365 Education, here to talk about a special offer for all homeschoolers today.

On November 14, 2016, we started a pilot program to make Office 365 Education available to homeschoolers across the United States.  This is a limited-time pilot to help us collect feedback and learn more on  how key education tools like Class Notebook, Forms, and Microsoft Classroom can work better and empower home educators and homeschoolers in the comfort of their own home.

Due to overwhelming demand of the pilot, we have already fillled up our inital set of spots.  We are trying to open up a few more in the coming weeks, but for now the pilot is closed.

If you’re already trying out the pilot and need help, we’ll be answering your questions right here, so please read on and post your inquires below.

How do I apply for the program?

To apply and learn more about the pilot program, visit Homeschool pilot program for Office 365 Education.  

Am I eligible to apply?

Learn more on eligibility and how to apply by visiting Eligibility for the Office 365 Homeschool pilot program.

Is there any device requirement?

No, we are piloting this program across devices.

How do I get started with the pilot program?

To get started, we recommend you read Get started with the homeschool pilot program for Office 365 Education.

Thank you for your interest, we look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Mike

    I know this is probably not the correct place to post my question, but I am hoping you will know the answer.  I am a college student who already has an Office 365 Education account, which allows me to use Microsoft Office online.  Since I also need offline access to Microsoft Office, my mom bought me Office 365 University.  I have not installed it yet , since I am using a trial version of Office 2013 Professional Plus, which will expire next week.  I know I need to uninstall the trial software, but do I also have to cancel my Office 365  Education subscription? I read on this forum that individuals can only have one active subsciption, and that adding another subscription simply extends the expiration date.  I would prefer to have both online and offline access to Microsoft Office, but I don't want to do anything wrong that might jeopardize the Office 365 University subscription that my mom purchased.

    After I posted, I tried again and it said my setup was incomplete.  I completed it but not sure how to download the software.  It is not computer software I am guessing and need to download on my ipad instead but not sure how to access this from my ipad? Thank you for all your help!

    I am having an issue.  I am getting a "BAD REQUEST" message when I tried to set up an account.  I now tried to re-click the link and I was given and it also said "Sorry the service is no longer available..."

    Hi Angie,

    I've forwarded the tenant information to our related team. They are working on it. Once I hear from them, I will let you know.

    Thanks for your patience.
