Academic Discount Question

Ronald Quick

I am recently became an adjunct faculty member at a Baptist University, so I was reading the Academic Discount webpage to see if I qualify.  If I am understanding the qualifications on the description page a person has to be a full time faculty member (which I am not), but I didn't see this distinction on the application page.  

So I'm not sure if I qualify for the academic discount or not. 

Also does the discount apply to prepubs and community pricing resources? (My guess is it does not.)

Thanks,

Ron

I can't comment on your full time faculty question, but I can definitely tell you that the discount does NOT apply to prepubs and community pricing.  It also doesn't apply to sales.  For example, if you get a 20% discount you wouldn't get that on a sale item.  However, many times the academic discount is so good that the price is cheaper than the sales price.  For example, during the March Madness sale I didn't get an additional discount on top of the sales price.  However, the Ben Witherington books are severely discounted for me, so the price I would pay is actually much lower than the March Madness price.

I would talk to someone at Logos regarding yoru adjunct status.  It seems to me that that should qualify, but I don't make the rules [:)]

The best answer I can give it to apply for the discount and see what they say.  It isn't hard to do.  I have adjuncts working for me (I'm the dean at a Baptist university) who have the academic discount.

As for pricing, the general practice the last three years is, whatever the pre-pub price is, that will be the price with the academic discount when the item goes into production.  You can't beat community pricing prices, so get those whenever you can.  I have several resources I got for under $30 that are now listed at hundreds of dollars each.

You have to re-apply for academic pricing every six months.

Another benefit of buying Community Pricing is the transferability of resources. I know of students and professors in the past who were allowed to sell their academic purchases and Logos was kind enough to allow the transfer of the resources. But they are not obligated to do so. If a user were hoping to pass on their library someday they might want to avoid buying academically. Just a thought.
