About 2 minutes 6 of 8 in this module

Every KCTCS student currently enrolled in a course can install the full version of Office 365 for free, on up to five devices: PC, Mac, Apple phones and tablets, and Android phones and tablets.

The software keeps working as long as you're enrolled in at least one class at a KCTCS college. That includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Teams, and OneDrive.
