What you get at Adobe
Students and teachers get a reduced price on Creative Cloud. Adobe's FAQ says the introductory student and teacher price is valid for one year, after which the subscription is automatically billed at the standard student and teacher rate. The page does not give the amount; the directories in our sources report roughly 60-66% off the All Apps plan in year one.
Who qualifies for the Adobe student discount
Individual students aged 13 or over enrolled in a primary school, secondary school, college, university, homeschool or alternative education program, plus teachers and staff at accredited schools. For their own computers only.
How to verify Adobe’s student discount
- 1Prove your enrollment to AdobeGive a school-issued email address during purchase and Adobe verifies you with it. A school email may be .edu, .k12 or any other domain sponsored by an educational institution. If you have no school email or it cannot be verified, Adobe may ask for proof of eligibility after purchase; documents must be dated within the last six months.
- 2Apply it at Adobe checkout
- 3Re-verify once a yearThe introductory price lasts one year, then renews at the standard student and teacher rate. Students and teachers may stay on the plan until they are no longer eligible. Either monthly or upfront annual billing requires a one-year commitment.
Limits and exclusions
You may install on more than one computer but use the app on only one at a time. Substance 3D apps are free for eligible students and teachers and are not part of Creative Cloud Pro.
Other brands that verify students themselves
Adobe checks you itself, so nothing carries over — each of these asks for its own proof.
