If you are a Select License for Academic customer, 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. If you are a Select Plus for Academic customer, you can participate by completing an Affiliate Registration Form for students under your Select Plus for Academic agreement. Orders for Student Select Plus licenses and corresponding individual media are placed with your Large Account Reseller (LAR) using your Select Plus customer number.
 Note Institutions participating in the Student Select or Student Select Plus programs in the U.S. and Canada may allow their faculty and staff members to acquire software licenses through the program. Learn more. Downgrade Rights
Student Select/Student Select Plus 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. 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 and Student Select Plus licenses cannot be transferred from the student to another party.
Minimum Requirements
There are no order minimum requirements for participating in Student Select Plus. For Student Select, you are required to reach 750 total points 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.
