Question

As a current SMC student or employee, can I access Microsoft 365 services?

Answer

Yes, as a current Santa Monica College student (enrolled in a class), or employee, you get access to Microsoft 365!  Just go to Office 365 and log in with your SMC email and password.

Your SMC student license expires when your SMC class ends so please remember to remove your files to personal storage before your course ends!
