Visio on the web is included at no charge. This is the only way to use Visio 365 on a Mac OS device.
Visio Plan 2 is available to purchase for faculty and staff as an add-on to MS Office for Windows OS. The current cost is $23.05/per individual/per year and will be prorated based on time of annual subscription with DotCIO.
