    How Do I Know If A Product I Want To Purchase Requires Education Verification?

    After selecting an item that requires education verification, your shopping cart will display the product with an information icon next to the product name and a note below your order making you aware EV (education verification) is required. Following the completion of your purchase, you will also receive an email that notifies you current, dated education verification must be sent to us before we can ship your order. Please note, your order status will say "Awaiting Education Verification."

    We do not gather education verification for all of the products we sell; some manufacturers have their own requirements. Your order may be subject to the manufacturer's education verification process. You may contact us to establish the verification of an item, or await further instruction via e-mail following your purchase. Due to limits imposed by certain manufacturers, some items are limited to one item per education verification. Please read product license descriptions carefully prior to purchase.

    • Copy of a dated student ID
    • Copy of a dated tuition bill (for students)
    • Copy of a recent pay stub (for Faculty)
