How to participate

If you are an Academic Select customer in K-12 or higher education, you can participate by starting a special Student Select Enrollment under your Academic Select Agreement.

Orders for Student Select licenses and corresponding individual media are placed with your Large Account Reseller (LAR) using your Student Select Enrollment number.

Note

Institutions participating in the Student Select program in the U.S. and Canada may now allow their faculty and staff members to acquire software licenses through the program. Learn more.

Downgrade rights

Student Select licenses include the right to run a downgrade of the product. For instance, a student that acquires a license for Office Professional Plus 2007 may instead run Office Professional 2003.

Distributing the Software

Student CDs are ordered from your LAR using the Student Select Fulfillment Order Form (117 KB Microsoft Word file). Once you receive your student CDs, you'll need to establish a transaction point, such as your campus bookstore or computer store. Then have your students sign a Student Select License Agreement (Addendum A to the Enrollment), pay for the software (at prices determined by your institution), and pick up their CDs for the software. Student Select licenses cannot be transferred from the student to another party.

Minimum requirements

You are required to reach 750 total points for Student Select purchases for all product pools. These points must be reached before the expiration date of the Master Academic Select Agreement under which the Student Select Enrollment is opened. This is in addition to the 1500 point requirement for the Master Academic Select Agreement. Student Select points do not apply to your 1500 point requirement.
