Learn about Microsoft Office 2016 Updates
 Testing of Microsoft Office 2016 is ongoing, and so far only one issue has been discovered that is of concern: upgrading to MS Office 2016 will likely cause problems with Microsoft Access databases that were built in previous versions of MS Office. If you use older Access databases, IT Services recommends that you wait to upgrade until further tests can be conducted.
Office 2016 will be available for installation on faculty and staff machines by the end of the spring 2016 semester. The upgrade will not be forced on faculty and staff; instead, it will be voluntary. Student labs, teaching labs, and classroom teaching stations will be upgraded to MS Office 2016 this summer and the work will be completed before the fall semester begins.
