Office 2016 For Mac Compatible With Catalina

If you're using one of these computers with OS X Mavericks or later, you can install macOS Catalina. Your Mac also needs at least 4GB of memory and 12.5GB of available storage space, or up to 18.5GB of storage space when upgrading from OS X Yosemite or earlier. Learn how to upgrade to macOS Catalina.

Microsoft Office 2016, 2019, and Office 365 are all compatible with macOS Catalina. What version are you running? If you are running 2016, you may have to apply updates from Microsoft to bring it fully up to 64 bit compatibility. Office 2016 for Mac version 15.35 and later is compatible with macOS Catalina. If you've been updating Office on a regular basis, then you should be fine. If you did NOT update it prior to installing Catalina, you will have to contact Microsoft or check their support pages for instructions on how to update it after the fact.

The School of Information has reviewed macOS Catalina (v10.15) for issues. iSchool is now provisionally supporting Catalina. Please read the VERY IMPORTANT notes below regarding known issues under Catalina:

1. End of 32-bit Support: 32-bit applications will NOT run under Catalina. If you have older versions of applications running on your computer, they may fail to launch after you upgrade to Catalina. You may want to consult the following site for a list of 32-bit applications that will not run under Catalina:

2. Upgrade Timing: We encourage users to wait until update 10.15.2 for Catalina is released, likely in late November or early December 2019. Generally, major issues are resolved by the .2 or .3 update release of macOS. Also, students and faculty may want to consider waiting until the end of the academic term before upgrading, just to avoid any unexpected or unpleasant issues in the middle of the term.

3. SJSU and iSchool systems: The following are supported under Catalina:

  • Google Apps: Current browser releases for Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
  • Canvas: See Canvas browser compatibility list.
