Converting individual account to student

I am currently enrolled in college and noticed that my school bookstore offers a one-year subscription to Creative Cloud for a price that is cheaper than what I've been paying for my individual account. I'm tempted to purchase, but unsure if I have issues due to it being for students, and my current account isn't listed as that. I'm uncertain whether I should cancel my account, create a new one, and then redeem, or if I should simply redeem as is.
