I have a mac and as soon as Catalina was installed when I click open office nothing happens. I had to temporarily download Libreoffice so I could use files. I have performed all the Q/A's I believe properly and even found the code to make gatekeeper make the box appear in settings to allow other app. Any assistance would be immensely appreciated.

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.

Office 2016 for Mac requires that you update to at least v15.35, which is fully 64-bit. Office 2011 is not supported under Catalina, since it is 32-bit, and also Microsoft dropped support for it in 2017.
