Using Microsoft Office after I graduate or otherwise not enrolled at UNE

Your UNE student account is disabled 9 months after the end of your last active enrollment. For staff the default grace period is 30 days after the end date of your employment.

At this point your Microsoft 365 subscription through UNE will end and the software you have installed will go into reduced functionality mode (ie read-only mode - you can open files, but not edit them),

You will then be able to take out a personal subscription to the software or uninstall it if no longer required.
