For these instructions to work, Microsoft 365 has to be enabled in your Uni Bayreuth user account.

Steps 1-5 of these instructions describe how you can give the required Privacy Permissin Statement. This only has to be done once, so if you have already given the statement in the past, please skip to Step 6 now.

If you have not given the statement yet, go to https://portal.its.uni-bayreuth.de now and log in with your university username and the respective password.

Click on Approvals.

Select Microsoft Account.

Accept the Privacy Permission Statement (if not already accepted) and click on Save changes.

Now, click on Install Office to download it. Install the downloaded file by double-clicking it.

After the installation is complete, open one of the Office applications (e.g. Word). You must now log in with your university username + @myubt.de again to activate it.
