Hi Al!
Academic pricing does not come with the right to upgrade to later
editions of Office. If you still qualify, you need to purchase a new
Academic Edition.
Your organisation, however, might look closely at the academic
institutional deals:

This seems to be a much better deal. The deals vary from country to
country but the basics appear the same.
