Software
JourneyEd.com Provides Software to Students
One of the benefits of being a registered Penn State student is that you are eligible to receive educational discounts on many software titles. If you would like to purchase software, you may do so through the software vendor JourneyEd.com. Simply go to the JourneyEd.com/bookstore Web site and select Pennsylvania as your state. Then scroll through the list of colleges and universities and select the link for Penn State University—University Park. It will take you to a page containing priority code BN 898. From there you can search for the software you wish to purchase. We suggest that you review the Agreement Forms at JourneyEd.com so that you are aware of any additional criteria that may apply to the purchase of specific software packages.
Once you locate the software you want to purchase, you can proceed to check out. To check out, you will first need to create an account at JourneyEd.com. Also, while you may go ahead and place your order, it will not be completed until you provide JourneyEd.com with proof of enrollment. Acceptable enrollment verification:
- Any registered Penn State student may obtain enrollment verification information online through the Office of the University Registrar. To do so, go to the Penn State Registrar Web site and select "Verify Enrollment/Degree Immediately" on the right side of the screen. Enter your Social Security number and last name, and print your verification. (Note that the enrollment verification portion of the site is secure, and that your full Social Security number will NOT be displayed in the resulting confirmation document.)
Enrollment verification may be scanned and e-mailed to JourneyEd.com at proof@journeyed.com; or you may fax a copy to 972-245-3585. Any questions you may have regarding purchasing software from JourneyEd.com should be directed to JourneyEd.com Customer Support at 800-874-9001.
