Education Discount for Students/ Monthly (not Annual) Rate?

I am teaching a course in information design in the spring, and I would like for my students to use CC to create their class deliverables. The course length is approximately four months (mid-January to mid-May).

I'm trying to figure out the cost to my students if they purchase a subscription using their student discount, but opt to cancel early. I ask this because I want to be able to forewarn my students as to how the pricing may change should they cancel. I can only find an annual rate of $19.99/month. If they choose to cancel their student subscription after the course ends, what would the cost be? Is it charged at $79.49/mo (full price) for the four month period, do they have to maintain the annual subscription ($240/year), or is there something in between?

The university has CC available in select labs on campus, but I am considering adding CC to required course materials so that students can access financial aid funds to pay for a subscription (I also think it would be easier for learning if the programs were installed on their own computers).

Thanks in advance,

Andrea

Student plans are only available as annual plans.  Early cancellation of a plan normally incurs a penalty of 1/2 the remaining cost of the plan.  So if they cancel after 4 months, they end up paying a penalty of an additional 4 months cost for the 8 months remaining

Creative Cloud plan contains 20+ apps and services.  To qualify for student pricing, an annual commitment is required.    The 1st year introductory  rate is $20/month or $240/year.   The 2nd year rate is $30/month.   After graduation, the price will be in the neighborhood or $50-60/month.   I would encourage students to take full advantage of the discounted student rate while they have it and use CC products for the full 12 months.
