Uninstall software you acquired through BC
- Some of the software you installed on your computer was installed under student licensing agreements, administered by the University. Since you are no longer a student, you should now remove Microsoft Office 2019 or 2016 software (Mac & Windows) from your computer in accordance with the respective manufacturer’s terms and conditions.
Stay Connected with the BC Alumni Association
