.edu is no longer sufficient for Educational Discounts
I noticed on your College Discount page you restrict email subscriptions (and by that I will also infer education discounts) to only those with .edu email addresses.
In 2012, ICANN, the internet naming authority, approved over 250 new top level domains (TLDs.) TLDs, therefore, are no longer limited to the old standards of .com, .net, .edu. For example, my school now issues its students email addresses ending with .Institute, one of the new TLDs.
I hope you can change your college discount program and bring it up to current internet naming standards.
Hello petereit,
Thanks for joining the conversation here on the forums! This was something I was not aware had been put into place and is certainly interesting. I apologize this has excluded you from receiving these emails.
I’m happy to see you followed AWBrown’s link to our IdeaX page and submitted your idea for consideration! This could definitely be beneficial for those colleges using less common TLDs for their email accounts.
Thanks again for your feedback,

Eligible for educator discount - working at hospital affiliated with University
I'm trying to figure out if I am eligible for the educational institution discount. I am a research scientist at a hospital that is affiliated with a nearby university. I have, for example, access to electronic library resources through the University. It was not clear from the eligibility requirements as to whether or not this would qualify for obtaining the educational institution affiliation discount.

I read that education discounts are available and I'm wondering if purchasing a Mac for my daughter who's still in public school counts ?
No, if purchasing for a grade school/high school student, you would not be eligible for the discount. If she was accepted for a college/university, or if presently attending one, she would be eligible. Please check the following link for a full understanding of their educational discount. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/open/salespolicies/edu

Demand for education discount after purchasing Creative Clooud and problem with using InDesign
Hello , i was wondering if you could help me with the following issues:
1) I just bought an annual subscription for Adobe Creative Cloud. Afterwards i saw that Adobe offers some discount to educators or staff that work at schools. I work at a school in Luxembourg. I can provide the relevant certificate. I was wondering where and how could i submit in order to receive the discount .
2) I downloaded and installed Adobe Creative Cloud in my computer . I installed two products : Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. I can use Adobe Photoshop without problem , but i cannot use Adobe InDesign. It asks for a license.
Thank you in advance for your guidance, best regardsHi kertom,

What proof do I need for educational discount?
I don't have a student card or anything. But i have an acceptance letter and a tonne of forms about my accomedation would that suffice apple?
also iam in the UK.The "principles" I was referring to was not regarding the student discount. I did not know what the prerequisites were for student education. Based on the word "student discount", I merely thought it was referring to any student and so I brought the student ID of my daughter's. When the Apple rep clarified the conditions to me, I was surprised and taken aback. I did not raise my voice or verbally and personally abuse him. I was in no rush to purchase the computer and was willing to walk out if my situation was unacceptable.
The "principles" I was referring to me was egarding the inclusion of "teachers" in the Apple website that Joseph Kriz quoted from. It mentions teaching staff of higher education. I am a member of the teaching staff of higher education. Period. If the same exact manager STILL finds this condition unacceptable after i bring my medical ID from the teaching institution as well as verification from Medical Educationthat Department that I do teach in higher education (higher education means college and above, right?), I will pay for the full price. That is the "principle" I was alluding to. I will let THE MANAGER of the Apple store decide for me. -
How long is the education discount going on?
I am going to college next year and am looking to buy a macbook, however possibly not at the beginning of the year as i already have a computer that will work(but its OLD). Does anyone know how lng the discount is going on for college students?
Apple offers an academic discount to anyone who is a currently registered student at an authorized college or university. There is no time limit.
There is a time limit on their current back to school offer. You can find out about it at the Apple Online Store - Education. -

Can I use the education discount to purchase a computer for my husband who is in school?
I'd like to buy a computer for my husband who is in college. When I purchased my computer I used the education discount because I was in college at that time. I am wondering if I can use the education discount for purchasing a computer for him. I noticed that on the terms you need to agree to in order to use it you have to either be the student, faculty, or a parent. I was wondering if spouse counted.
You need a valid .edu email address, IIRC.
Since he is the student, he can make the purchase and get the discount.
Won't work real well if you're planning on gifting the Mac. -
Educational discount for non-accredited schools.
I am setting up a personal tutoring creative school and would like to offer CC to my students. Whilst I will not be an 'accredited' educational establishment I would like to investigate if I could offer CC on the current educational discount. Does anybody know who I could contact? Thanks, in advance, for any help or advice.
These are the links I have... I do not know if one of these links will have a way to contact Adobe to become accredited

I'm Polish student who is working in ireland for summer holiday, and question is do i qualifie to get education discount in ireland?
If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.
