Dell gives K-12 teachers and college faculty in the U.S. 10% off eligible products on Dell.com. You verify your status once in your Dell account, and the discount shows up automatically in your cart. It doesn’t work at other stores that sell Dell laptops, only on Dell.com.
Dell sells laptops, desktops, monitors and accessories, so it’s the place to look if a classroom or home laptop is on your list. Browse more tech discounts for teachers if you want to compare.
How To Get The Dell Teacher Discount
- Sign in to your Dell account, or create one. An existing account works, so you don’t need a new one.
- Join Dell Rewards. It’s free, and you can do it when you create or sign in to your account.
- In the membership section of your account, choose the teacher program and complete the verification form. Dell uses SheerID to check your status.
- Shop on Dell.com in the United States. The 10% comes off eligible products in your cart at checkout.
Verification is almost instant most of the time. If SheerID needs to look at your documents, that takes about 20 minutes. Check the total in your cart before you pay, since Dell says the discount appears at checkout and not necessarily on every product page.
Who Qualifies
Dell counts K-12 teachers and post-secondary faculty. If you’re a substitute, an aide or a school administrator, Dell doesn’t say whether you’re in, so the verification form is where you find out.
What’s Excluded
The discount doesn’t apply to limited-quantity deals, certain order codes, clearance offers, warranties, gift cards, and some PCs, electronics and accessories. It can be combined with select offers, but not with other Dell coupons.
You can buy up to two eligible products per transaction and make up to two transactions a year on your account. If you’re buying for a whole department, that limit matters, so plan the order around your two best items.
Dell Outlet
Dell Outlet is Dell’s certified refurbished store, and Dell doesn’t say whether the teacher discount works on it. Outlet orders also can’t earn or use Dell Rewards. Look at your cart total before you decide an Outlet laptop is the cheaper route.
