Azure for Education is a service that provides free licenses to Microsoft Software. If you are taking computing classes, you may be eligible for this service. Microsoft provides this in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Microsoft Office is not available.

- Windows 10
- Visual Studio
Get started
Accounts are created automatically during the first week of the semester so long as you are registered for a CS or CEG course. Your username is your Wright State email address (lastname.#@wright.edu).
- Go to https://azureforeducation.microsoft.com/devtools.
- Click the blue sign-in button.
- Enter your Wright State email address, then hit next.
- Enter the password, then sign in.
- Complete the verification process.
- After the steps above, users should be able to access the Azure portal.
For Visual Studio, we recommend using either community or professional edition. Enterprise edition usually has additional things built in that are not necessarily useful for your learning purposes.
