You may not know it, but as a student at Cumberland University you are entitled to discounts on the software you purchase. Often these discounts are more than 50 percent off the retail cost of the product. Because we understand that students need to watch every penny, we want to do everything to help your dollar go farther.

Requirements
To receive academic discounts on software, you must be a qualified student, faculty member or staff member form an accredited institution. You need to provide proof of your academic status when placing an order. This is usually done by faxing an academic ID to the software distributor.

Typical acceptable proofs of academic status are:

• Dated student, faculty, or staff ID card
• Current class schedule
• Letter from school on school letterhead
• Registration form

Some require one of the above, while others require two.

Additionally, many software products that are sold directly from the manufacturer only can be obtained at an academic discount, even if it does not state it on the company's web site. All you have to do is ask.

FYI
Purchasing software at an academic discount for others who do not meet the criteria for the discount is a violation of software license.

Cumberland University makes no endorsement of the above or other academic software retailers. This information is simply intended to provide CU students with information on how to purchase academic discount software.
