Some professors require students to use a software called Mendeley Cite. Mendeley Cite from Microsoft AppSource is a brand-new citation tool that is compatible with Microsoft Office 365 that allows students to seamlessly insert references and bibliographies into their Word documents. Learn more here: https://www.mendeley.com/reference-management/mendeley-cite
For the students using Mendeley Cite with personally licensed Microsoft Office, you should not run into any issues, as long as you are signed in because Chico State does not manage personal licensing.
If you are using campus-licensed Microsoft Office, you may run into issues where you are unable to add the Word add-in because Word is "managed by the institution".
Put in a ticket here before following the steps below: https://support.csuchico.edu/TDClient/1984/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=8035
Once you put in the request, it can take up to overnight for the Add-in to be reflected on your Microsoft Word.
