Finding the lowest price on Apple products just got easier for Ohio State students, faculty and staff. OSU’s Digital First initiative recently announced that The Ohio State University community can now save up to 12% on Apple hardware products through an exclusive agreement with Apple.

The pricing, which is below the standard academic discounts for Apple hardware products, includes everything from the new iPad, iMac, and Mac Pros to the MacBook Pro with Retina display.

The success of Ohio State’s Digital First program doesn't depend on technology but rather on people embracing technology as part of the educational landscape.  Recognizing this, we have developed a comprehensive advisory structure to guide the program. This advisory structure will pull knowledge from all areas of the university community to ensure we make the most of our opportunity to transform into a digital first campus.

Wrap up your spring quarter with us in a Digital Union workshop!
