Computers
The PCC Bookstore partners with the following companies to provide computer hardware and software discounts to students, faculty, and staff. Since these are not PCC Bookstore websites, bookstore prices and availability may vary from those listed online.
Students must provide proof of current-term enrollment to make purchases using these discounts. Bring your student ID with the current term sticker and a photo ID.
The Sylvania Campus Bookstore also has a computer purchasing department (PantherTEK) with demo models on display.
Software
You can purchase software at a bookstore location or online through our partner. Only select titles and items are available at any time online – come into the Sylvania Campus Bookstore to see our full selection. Contact us at bookstore@pcc.edu if you have any questions.
- Order software online
If the software title has an academic price, chances are it is offered on our partner website! Prices there are not set by the PCC Bookstore. - AutoDesk products available to students
You must be enrolled in a PCC degree or certificate program. AutoDesk products are available by special order on full deposit from the Sylvania Campus Bookstore. - In-store software and technology items

Before ordering software
To qualify for academic pricing on software, you are required to provide proof of eligibility. Depending on the product, this may be supplying proof of current enrollment in a higher education institute, or proof of enrollment in a particular PCC degree or certificate program.
Orders will not ship until all required proof has been submitted.
