Parent/ Student Purchasing Assistance
Below are the partner relationships that we have been building with external vendors to better support our parents with device purchasing.
We cannot endorse these companies, nor do we require you to purchase through these vendors exclusively.
We have arranged these to make the parent's experience with purchasing simpler and it is at your discretion to use these or not.
We do not receive incentives, monetary contributions, nor do we personally gain from dealing with these companies. All benefits are directed to the students and parents purchasing the devices.
All companies listed have the minimum device specifications for the College and the devices have been filtered to only include those that meet our requirements.
Please click on the name of the company to view their portal/ offers for students/parents.
Please refer to the Device Minimum Specifications for the classes that your students is in/will be in when purchasing a device.
Plese contact the IT Manager at the College if you have questions or concerns relating to this information.
