Open University and Apple Higher Education Student Discount?

Hi

I was wondering if there was a way of accessing the Apple Store for Higher Education part of their website when when you go to the Open University?

As obviously being an open university student I can not log on to there server first and go through there to the apple store website

Or will I just have to phone them up to get the discount?

Thanks

    Usually you need to provide proof of study to get the unlock code (or whatever you need for what you are buying) This is sometimes asked for after payment is taken but a phone call might help.
    It is often photo ID and they check with the institution so you might have to ask the OU what you can get as a means of identification. Or ask Apple what they will need
    There are three types of people in this world. Those who can count and those who can't.

    I spoke with one of apples help people online and they said if I phone up I just need to say I'm a student and which Uni I go too and thats it apparently.

    So will see what they say tomorrow

    When you do it over the phone they normally ask you to email in a copy of your ID, or a letter of enrolment.
