How do I download Microsoft Office?

As a student, you have access to Microsoft 365 that is provided by the college. To download and use Microsoft apps, visit portal.office.com and login with your KC email and password. Once you are logged into the Microsoft portal, you will see the option to install Office. 

You can install Office on up to 5 devices using your school account. For mobile devices, get the individual Microsoft Office apps from the App Store and use your KC Email/Password to activate the license. 
 

Does it cost me to print on campus?

Students are allocated $37.00 in print credits each semester. Black & white copies are $0.05 each and color copies are $0.12. If you run out of your printing credits prior to the end of the semester, you can add printing funds at the Office of Student Accounts in Ball Hall. 

Can I continue to use my school account to access Microsoft 365 after I graduate?

No, only active students are licensed to use Keuka College’s Microsoft 365 account. Graduated students will lose access to their Microsoft 365 license immediately following graduation.

How can Keuka College’s internship program, known as Field Period®, help me land a job?

You think it’s only NBA players that are lured out of college early to start their careers?
 
Listen to Julianna Zizzo ’22, a sophomore and future teacher who is already fighting off job offers thanks to the unique opportunities afforded by Keuka College’s Field Period ® program:
 
“After my first Field Period®,” she says, “I was offered two jobs at the two different sites I went to.”
 
That’s not uncommon. The immersive, on-the-job opportunities that Field Periods® provide not only give Keuka College students extensive, real-world experience, they give would-be employers a look at potential new hires.
 
Quite often, they like what they see.

Sini Ngobese ’15 is one of many alumni who had a job waiting for them upon graduation thanks to a successful Field Period®. The Management major spent her sophomore stint with a Boston-based Fortunate 500 company that came calling two years later.
 
“I’ve got a dream job in a dream industry,” says Sini, who credits Field Period® with helping to make her career-ready. “I have a résumé I can be proud of and every accolade on there, I can point to ten people on campus who helped me.”
 
Like Sini, Julianna is completing her degree before entertaining any job offers. But she’s already realized another benefit of the Field Period® model: Confidence in her career choice.
 
“Field Period® opens doors to possible jobs and it helps students get their feet wet in their possible life occupation,” says Julianna. “Some students may realize they want to change their major because a Field Period® experience helped them make that decision. For me, I realized that teaching is what I was meant to do.”
