Purchasing a Computer

  • If you are looking to purchase a computer, please consider looking at The S&T Store. Not only do they have educational discounted pricing, but their Dell Latitude series comes with a 4-year complete care warranty, which includes accidental damage – even if the laptop is dropped from a moving vehicle (don’t ask how we know this!). IT Help Desk Techs are certified to repair computers and loaner laptops are provided during repair if needed. The S&T Store has a Student Computer Purchase Plan program which spreads the payments out over 4 semesters, with no accruing interest rate.
  • The S&T Store also offers Apple computers and iPads with accidental warranty coverage available for purchase.
  • Money saving tips: Think about buying your computer on Missouri’s sales tax holiday weekend, usually the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday in August. Or look for special promotions from Dell and Apple during the month of July (rebates and free merchandise).
  • Mac verses Windows – whatever your student is used to. Nothing is specified or required by any degree program.

Course Material

  • We realize that college is expensive and textbooks add to that expense so we have some tips to save money.
  • Reserve your books – We have a program called “Early Bird Textbook Reservation”.  You can sign up online at our web site www.thesandtstore.com. We will pre-pack your student’s books and supplies and have them ready for pick up in the store during move-in weekend.  By taking advantage of Early Bird, students will be more likely to receive used books because we pull those first.  You will have the option to rent books or purchase digital books at check out.  There is no obligation to purchase.
  • AutoAccess Books. AutoAccess is a collaboration between the professor, the publisher and The S&T Store to provide required materials automatically when you enroll in the course at a reduced cost. https://www.thesandtstore.com/t-autoaccess_student.aspx 
  • Use our Textbook Shop & Compare web site https://www.thesandtstore.com/t-textbook-terms.aspx. When you search for textbooks at on web site you will see the price not only from us but also from other online vendors such as Half.com, Textbooks.com and others. This will also insure you have the correct ISBN textbook number. (We cannot guarantee the accuracy of course materials from other online vendors.) You can have the textbooks shipped to you or select in store pick up.
  • At the end of each semester, we host “Book Sellback”.  During this time you can bring your textbooks by the store and we will buy them back if the department is reusing that book for the next semester. You can also return your rental books at this time.
