How It Works

TechConnect opportunities on educational bundles and exclusive discounts begins in May and extends throughout the summer. We highly recommend purchasing your devices with us so that you can access our exclusive savings and other perks listed in the timeline below. 

 
  • Late May: TechConnect is working with schools & departments to determine the best configuration for your studies. We are also watching for new product releases. We recommend holding off on your tech purchases if you can! If you need to purchase soon, TechConnect has savings bundles up online. We also launch our "Get Your College Computer Free" campaign this month!  
  • Mid-June: Our online order form goes live with our latest technology recommendations for different schools & departments at Tulane. Our order form provides a one-stop shop for all of the technology you’ll need for college. We can even ship your items outside of Louisiana! Shipments ordered and shipped outside of Louisiana will not be charged Louisiana state or local taxes.
  • June/July: We expect to announce our vendors to announce their back-to-school specials during this time! Last year, those purchasing a qualifying computer received a free pair of AirPods™ and discounts on our back-to-school bundles.
  • July: The TechConnect team is hard at work preparing your back-to-school orders with speed, accuracy, and precision. We can ship your computer anywhere in the United States, so you can start setting up your tech before the fall rush.
  • All Summer: Throughout the summer, students who order online from TechConnect can enroll in our Repair Laptop Loaner program. This industry-unique program allows you to continue working on one of our loaner computers if you have to check your computer in for repair. Our Get Your College Computer Free campaign is also live all summer!
