I am a teacher and want to get access to the teacher discount but can't see how I change my normal plan?

Hi Brookypuma,

You may want to check if the option to change your plan to an educational one is available by going through the workflow described here: https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/change-plan.html

Like others mention, if the option isn't available there you'll want to contact our cutomer service for assistance.

That workflow no longer presents an option to change your plan to an educational one, rather it simply presents a list of Adobe products. Customer Service are very slow to respond (at least I'm still waiting). We may need an updated version of this process for 2023/4. This process should be far easier, so I have to question how motivated Adobe are to make it simple for users to switch to a cheaper subscription.

I just went a little further in the process after finding the (not very obvious) option to alter my plan and can confirm that, even if you choose the option to switch to an educator's plan, the following stage gives no option to do so and no information as to why the expected option is not actually displayed or mentioned.

As far as I know, you need to cancel what you have and buy a new subscription

To do so without an early cancel fee you need to contact support

Do be aware that wait times are sometimes long before an agent responds
.
You MUST make sure that your browser does NOT block ads, scripts, or pop-ups
You MUST also allow 'cookies' in your web browser for the link to work
This will NOT work if you are using a VPN

This link will go directly to the chat option

Type "Agent" in the chat box to bypass the chatbot and be connected to a person
-Meaning type in the word Agent in the lower right, without the quote " " marks
or
X (aka Twitter) tweet @AdobeCare
