If I can how can I prove I got to the school I do in the first place and I woundering about that online, what would stop someone that doesnt work in a school or is a student themself from getting the discounts...

Yeah, just order from the educational store. They do not require any proof, at least they didn't with me. I'd go for it.
 
when i bought my G$ in october i got a huge discount for being a college student they just asked me what scholl and then gaveme the discount.

I doubt they really care if you are a student or not.

It doesn't appear to matter what your student status is (full-time or part-time). As I said earlier, I got the discount (and student ID) because I took a four week intro to Mac course that cost less than $25.

Our campus store won't sell to you without a student/faculty ID number, but the online Apple education store doesn't require any proof of your academic status at all. So you could probably scam the system if you're the type of person inclined to do that sort of thing. I suppose that they could always audit you randomly in the future, but I doubt that would do that.

Will your campus store sell you anything without a student ID? Mine won't, except maybe for t-shirts and stuff, you can't get any course books or materials without an ID.

Ha! You can get all of the overpriced monogrammed and non monogrammed clothing/pens/mugs/bric-a-brac that you want at our store. But books, software and computer hardware all require ID. I suspect that's the case for most university bookstores.

I'm just surprised that the online Apple Store for Education doesn't apply this same standard. Any person could theoretically scam a hundred dollars or more off of a system.
 
Way to show maturity buddy. Smooth.

I'd take his signature over your l33t handle anyday. Only prepubescent 14 year olds actually talk that way, and even then usually just during counterstike.

Lay off the übermeister.

And for the record, I got my dual 867 with an educational discount (not the developer one) and it required no proof whatsoever.
