If you are an education customer (faculty, staff, or student), you may use your school's Apple Store for individual purchases and shop with a personal credit card to receive discounts.
Review and accept the shopping terms and conditions that appear on your screen, and then create your own account in your school's store.
No authorization is required.
It is not necessary to create an account until you are ready to make a purchase, but it is more convenient to sign in before you start shopping.
