Apple Educational Discount

Whats the difference between the apple store educational discount and its HE discount. You see, I'm going to 6th Form College this september and i'm wondering if i can get the educational discount.

Thanks

Higher education discount is more, but for people at university.

I believe the standard education discount is 8%, which the HE discount is 14%.

On the site it says you have to be over 18 for the Standard Educational discount, however, isn't that what HE is anyway? 18 and over?

You have to be at University. Only available to anyone with NUS card or anyone who logs onto the website from the university network.

Just to view the prices I have to use the uni proxy, thought that was the only way you could do it. Do they accept NUS cards over the phone I suppose?

Does that also apply to people in the Open University?

Im not exactly sure what the open university is, but for the HE discount you need to login from your university's network, if the Open Uni doesn't have its own network I guess you have to use the regular education discount.

Though I guess you might be able to get it if you called.

I got my ~14% discount due to studying with OU. Ordered over the phone and just said I was an OU student. Didn't need to provide any evidence.

For an almost fool proof way of getting the HE discount just go to a local university, ask to use their student services centre (pretend you're looking for a job) and log on to the apple site from there

Bought both my iMac and iBook in person just taking a letter from the uni with my name on it stating what modules I was doing that year.

They asked to look at a debit card which had my name on too then it was all done!
