How do I go about ordering online if I am not an educator or other education professional with an institutional account?

Discover our selection of products on the Parents & families Web site. Our new online store is open to all.

Institutions & Professionals

Is it possible to have a single profile with one account number for all users from an institution (school, school board, etc.) in order to see their prices and/or order on the website?

No. For reasons related to security, your data protection (product watch lists, passwords, etc.) and confidentiality. There can only be a single user per profile. However, there is no limit to the number of profiles per institutional account.

Is it possible to de-activate purchase order sending because we wouldn’t want schools to order through the website?

No. It isn’t up to the website to manage that type of exception. If a school board wishes their orders on our website to be blocked, they must send a request to that effect to Customer Service. Our IT system enables us to identify profiles or accounts with restrictions and intercept orders. A user who would send an order without proper authorization would be contacted by Customer Service to inform them of the situation, of their account’s conditions and further steps to be taken.
