    Hi, all
    I am a college student, and looking for a laptop for the coming academic year.
    I am wondering how can I get into the Dell EPP?
    Where should I go to get the member ID?

    Thanks in advance

    EDIT:
    I am also working part time in my school, does that make a difference?

    You will probably have to contact your college, they have the number and Dell doesn't just hand it out.

    In the meantime, sign up at www.delluniversity.com - you'll need your school email verified as well to get in.

    check your school's computer store, they might have great deals since they order in bulk

    Some schools will have a link to give your access to a Dell EPP account (if your school has one). Do a search on your school website. Or...

    www.delluniversity.com

    you can set up an account and search for your school through there

    Just FYI, if your looking to get a 1520 notebook, it's cheaper to not go with the EPP and just use the $300 coupon.

    I built it today actually. At least for the specs that I ordered, I saved money. Granted, it was only $50 or so, but I still saved it.

    That, and I could NOT find the bluetooth option on the EPP order page, which is stupid.

    Thanks for all of U.
    I did checked with the specs that I wanted on 1520It only comes out as $70 discount which is way less than the $300 coupon.
    Any other coupon that I can stack on?
