Microsoft Software for Students

The Sequoia High School Business/IT program is part of the Microsoft Academic Alliance program. This program provides students with free software (Windows XP Professional, Vista and Windows 7) for installation on their home computers. You can purchase the software from Microsoft for the cost of shipping or you can download the software directly. A new copy of Windows XP Professional if purchased by itself would cost you around $400 so this is a great deal. The software is good for the life of your system and you will have the CD whenever you need it. There is a limit of one copy per student. To order your software go to the ELMS site and register.

When you go the the ELMS website you will need to register by supplying your student number, a current and valid email address and a password. Be sure to use a password that you will not forget, I suggest you use your student number. You will need to use a credit card to purchase the software and it will usually arrive within two weeks of your date of purchase. If you download the software then there is no cost and you can begin the download immediately

This is a great opportunity and I strongly suggest you take advantage of this offer. This will allow you to have the same operating system on your home computer that you will be learning in class.
