Allow about half an hour for the upgrade to complete like all upgrades, it's best to avoid making the change right before a major deadline. Please perform this upgrade while connected to the campus network (wired or wireless) it will work remotely via VPN if necessary. If this Mac is shared by many employee users, and/or is used by students such as workstudy employees, please see the special note below. In order to have access to all new features, campus Macs need to 1) upgrade to the latest Office and 2) start using the '365 license' (which is tied to the employee user's account) rather than the 'volume license' (which we have used in the past). Microsoft Office has shifted to a model of ongoing smaller updates, rather than saving them all up for a big version upgrade (like 2011 to 2016).
