Full- and part-time faculty and staff of qualified educational institutions can receive special discounts on certain Microsoft products for use on a personally-owned computer. Here's how to save on your Microsoft software: Find out if your school or college participates in a special Microsoft discount programMost school districts, colleges, and universities participate in a volume licensing program with Microsoft. Some institutions offer the benefits of these Microsoft programs to their faculty and staff directly or through a third-party organization. Typically, these programs provide the biggest discounts.* To find out if your institution participates: 1. Check the Web sites of these online resellers that handle faculty and staff requests for many educational institutions: 2. Check with your institution's technology administrator.
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.
