How to Buy Computers With a Student Discount

The use of computers in post-secondary institutions is essential.

Students tend to be tight on finances, due to the expense of tuition and food, and the lack of time to spend working. For this reason, many computer stores offer special discount prices to students at many accredited post-secondary institutions.

Campus Stores

By buying your computer right on campus, you have a salesman who expects you to be a student, and you can quickly show him your student ID to receive your discount.

Online With an ".edu" Email Address

Most post-secondary institutions provide each student with an email address containing an .edu extension. Using this address to perform your online shopping helps demonstrate your enrollment as a student, and is suitable for many online stores.

Submitting Proof of Registration

Showing a confirmation of your college registration (obtainable from your records department) will prove that you are a student. This document can be scanned or faxed to online retailers. This also applies to physical stores, if they do not accept your student ID.
