Parallels Desktop - 50% off Pro and Standard editions

Parallels Desktop is virtualization software that lets you run Windows applications and programs directly on your Mac without needing a separate computer or dual-boot setup. This is essential for students taking courses that require Windows-only engineering software, design tools, analytics platforms, or architecture applications. You can switch between macOS and Windows instantly, access both operating systems side-by-side, and run professional-grade tools without sacrificing Mac performance.

Eligible students receive 50% off Parallels Desktop Pro and Standard editions after verifying academic status through the education verification portal. The discount applies to both new purchases and renewals, and it refreshes annually as long as you maintain valid student status. No reapplication is needed each semester—your verification stays active throughout your enrollment period.
