Unfortunately, it is true that not all SUNY schools provide the free educational software that you received while you were a student here at SUNY Canton.  Our institution is able to provide these resources to our students because we subscribe to what is called the Microsoft Work at Home Campus Agreement.  If a particular SUNY campus does not subscribe to this, then it is very likely that they cannot provide you with Microsoft Office.  

You can check out this link, though:  http://www.ubmicrosuny.com/

With proof that you are a student (they call this academic proof - like your college ID), you can purchase a copy of Microsoft Office 2010 for about $10. Hope this helps!
