Frequently Asked Questions

our school is already an informit subscriber; do we get a discount?

Yes! The discount for schools subscribed prior to the Partnership start date is set and advised separately.

What discounts am i entitled to?

The discount offered (to schools subscribing after the Partnership start date) is dependent on the amount of ASLA members participating -the more members, the higher the discount. You will be advised before invoicing begins.

I'm not an ASLA Member - can I join the consortium?

Unfortunately not, but ASLA memberships are very reasonably priced and stacked with benefits, why not join us?
