Request a Microsoft Office 365 A3 License

For those with A1 licenses, an explanation of the circumstances under which you can request an A3 license


Microsoft Office 365 licenses come in two flavors, A1 and A3. The specifics (and how to find out which one you have) can be found in our Office 365 for Faculty and Staff article.

The Office 365 A3 License is only available to users based on their affiliation with Cornell University.
The following affiliations do not qualify for this license: 

  • Temporary
  • Exception
  • Student
  • Alumni
  • Former Postdoc

There are three reasons the holder of an A1 license can request an upgrade to an A3 license to gain additional capabilities. In all cases, the license will apply only to computers being used for Cornell business purposes.
