You may utilize Apple discounts using your RISD account by visiting the RISD Apple Store:

After logging in with your RISD account, discounted prices for certain Apple products are shown as you view them.
If you would like to compare prices from the RISD Apple Store and the regular Apple Store, we recommend using a private window to view the regular Apple Store and compare them side by side.
