Software Application Category: Microsoft 365 Applications and Add-Ins

Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) offers a host of applications for seamless collaboration, communication, and productivity. Listed below are the tools and related add-ins that may be included in Mason’s Microsoft 365 environment—the familiar Microsoft Office Suite and others—to provide more ways to increase productivity.

Please sign in to the Microsoft 365 Portal with your @gmu.edu email address to view applications, add-ins, and software downloads available to you. These items can be viewed by clicking the nine-dot waffle icon and selecting All apps once you are signed in. Please note some applications require additional licensing.

ITS support levels vary by application. If you do not find resources here directly related to your needs, please visit LinkedIn Learning or Microsoft Support and search for specific information.
