Microsoft Office 365 access

While you're studying at the University, you can use Microsoft 365 for free on up to five devices, using your student login credentials. 

Once you get started with Microsoft 365, you'll be able to co-edit your documents using Office applications online, in real time - anywhere, anytime, on any devices. 

How to access Microsoft 365

If you're signing up for the first time to start using OneDrive and to download the Microsoft package, you will need to: 

  1. Go to the Microsoft 365 login page.
  2. Enter your Microsoft 365 username, which is your University username followed by @westminster.ac.uk. Your University username is 'w' followed by the first seven digits on your student ID card.  For example, if your University username is w1234567, your Microsoft 365 username will be [email protected]. (If you have a Google Gmail account, do not use @my.westminster.ac.uk.)
  3. Enter your University password.

Please note: If you've already signed up to Microsoft 365 using your student Gmail account ending @my.westminster.ac.uk, you need to stop using this.
