Students can also purchase CATS in RATS for $125.00, rather than the usual price of $175.00.
Illinois residents must add 8.75% sales tax. Students outside the U.S. must pay the regular shipping costs.
You can place your order online using our Online Order Page. Note that your order will not ship until you mail, fax, or email us verification of your student status, as described above.
