Verify your education status with Sheer ID to continue with the discounted Creative Cloud plan and avoid upgrading to the standard subscription price.
Your discounted Student and Teacher Creative Cloud plan requires periodic verification that you remain eligible as a student or educator. Without verification, your subscription automatically upgrades to standard pricing at the next billing cycle.
Adobe sends a verification reminder 30 days before renewal to the email address on your Adobe account. This may be your school email if that is what you registered with. If you have graduated or changed schools, update your account email before your renewal date. If you didn't receive the email, check your spam folder or verify your address in your account. You can also check your renewal date at any time by signing in to your Adobe account.
Before you begin
You can continue using your Creative Cloud apps with a student and teacher discount after verifying that you’re still a student or teacher. To do so, you'll need:
- Your Adobe account login credentials.
- Current proof of eligibility, such as school ID, transcript, and tuition bill.
- Access to the email address associated with your Adobe account.
Verify education status using email link
Select the verification link in the email to begin the process.
Sign in to your Adobe account if prompted.
On the SheerID verification page, select your role (student or educator).
Upload the required documentation to prove your current education status. For verification through SheerID, you can submit any of the following documents:
- For students
- School ID card with current date
- Report card (current academic period)
- Transcript
- Tuition bill or statement
- For educators
- Official school letter verifying employment
- Teacher ID card with current date
