I can't find the printed version, but I just bought a MacBook for my son, and it says "students, AND student's parents" qualify (obviously buying for a student) for a ONE TIME shot at such a discount, so there's no date expiration other than the 16th for the Nano offer. We just entered the uni where my son's enrolled, and went from there, but bought it on my account.
