Microsoft Software for Students

Olin has entered into a licensing agreement with Microsoft to provide licenses for select software to Business students at no cost. The only cost to you is for the media which you order online. The software is full-featured, not demo or trial versions, and you are allowed to continued to use it after you graduate from the University.

Available software and current costs for media (as of 10/22/2009, see eStore for current prices):

SoftwareCost
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007
(includes Access, Communicator, Excel, Groove, InfoPath,
OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Word)		$18.85
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac
(includes Entourage, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word)		 $17.85
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade 32-bit$17.85
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade 64-bit$17.85

To order software, visit our OnTheHub eStore at http://wustlbusiness.onthehub.com

All eligible students receive an email from OnTheHub with instructions how to create your account when they are added to the system. If you do not have this email, do the following to create your account:

  1. Go to the Olin OnTheHub eStore at http://wustlbusiness.onthehub.com.
  2. Click Sign In.
  3. Click Register.
  4. Enter your WUSTL email address as your Account Identifier and click continue. The account identifier is case sensitive, so be sure to enter it in lower case.
  5. Complete the remaining steps.

Please note that that is no option to receive the key to unlock the software without purchasing media. You must purchase the media in order to receive the unlock key.

Can't wait for the media to arrive? You can download and install an evaluation copy of Office Enterprise 2007. You will have 60 days to register the software using the key you receive after you order.

All eligible students will receive an account to logon to the site via email from the eStore. To be eligible, students must enrolled in a degree program that will result in the granting of a business degree (BSBA, MBA, MACC, MSFin, etc.).

Business minors and second majors from other schools at the University are not eligible for this program through Olin. Instead they should check with their schools to see whether they have a similar program.
