Microsoft Imagine

Welcome!

Microsoft and JourneyEd have partnered to provide students access to Microsoft Imagine. This page is the starting point to a simple validation of your status as a student. The process is simple and should be familiar to you... it works just like any online purchase:

• You add Imagine  to your shopping cart.
• You go through a few pages to check-out.
• You get an email with a URL and instructions on how to validate your eligibility and access Microsoft Imagine .

We won't ask you to pay anything for Imagine along the way, but will provide you the opportunity to purchase any other products from JourneyEd that you may be excited about and interested in.

If you would like more information about Imagine, or if you are a student at an institution outside of the United States, please go to the Imagine site.
