Find out if your school or college participates in a special Microsoft discount program
Many school districts, colleges, and universities participate in a volume licensing program with Microsoft. Some institutions offer the benefits of these Microsoft programs to their students directly or through a third-party organization. To find out if your institution participates:
1. Check the Web sites of these online resellers that handle student requests for many educational institutions:
• JourneyEd
• OnTheHub
2. Check with your institution's technology administrator, campus book or computer store, or Web site.
If you don't see your institution listed on the JourneyEd or OnTheHub Web sites,
check with your technology administrator's office to inquire whether your institution participates in a special licensing program that will save you money on software. You may also want to check with your institution's bookstore, computer store, or Web site.
Purchase software through an education software retailer
Microsoft offers discounts to students and other qualified education users on boxed retail software products. To get your discounted retail software:
1. Contact a Microsoft Authorized Education Reseller
Our most popular retail products are available as Academic Edition full packaged product (FPP), which include the same great software as the regular retail versions but with discounted pricing. Academic Edition FPP is available through Microsoft Authorized Education Resellers (AERs). Many college campus bookstores are AERs and offer these products in their retail stores or at their online retail sites.
