Check with your university IT dept. They will set you on the right path

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

Your school should have guide on how to connect your student account to system, agree on terms and so on. After that you can login to Office 365 and download desktop versions of software you school has signed for.
