Student discount?

I am currently in my final year of high-school and have applied for a university, but still have to do some stuff before being accepted. If I buy an Adobe CC license with a student discount right now and Adobe checks to see whether I am actually a student, will I pass? I have received a student number because of my application, which means I am in the unis system. Is this "enough" or does Adobe check whether I am actually attending?

If you are currently enrolled in high-school then you will qualify according to Adobe's website:

Adobe Creative Cloud for students and teachers | Adobe Creative Cloud

Student eligibility

To qualify for a student discount, you must be at least 13 years of age and enrolled in one of the following:

• University or college — accredited public or private university or college (including community, junior, or vocational college) that grants degrees requiring not less than the equivalent of two years of full-time study*

Primary or secondary school — accredited public or private primary or secondary school providing full-time instruction*

• Homeschool — defined by state homeschooling regulations

So that you can renew next year for the same price, be sure that you are enrolled elsewhere when your subscription expires.

Hi, I'm currently a student at the University of Corsica (FR) and I can't seem to be able to access the f_ing monthly plan. I've been trying for the past 2 and a half hours without any success.

I enter my credit card with the right things, it's still valid and stuff (yet it does not ask me the secret digits so that's weird);

I enter the right uni information too: Université de Corse (it recognizes it but does not know "IUT de Corse" (Corsican MIT) because it's part of the uni), Design, Web, Multimedia (what I'm currently studying);

Yet, it KEEPS asking me for my diploma even though I'm still studying to this day --which means i don't have it. It just makes no sense and I cant enter my high-school diploma because I got it in 2018, a date that I cant pick either.

 

So each time i've been filling my infos (even with my paypal account), it's been telling me that my payment infos are wrong and stuff, even though I use this card on a weekly basis, and often buy stuff online, so idk why adobe has been a hell with me).

 

Thx for any answer or question

Nina.

Do be sure you read the Subscription Terms https://www.adobe.com/misc/subscription_terms.html and make a note on next year's calendar to cancel before your ending date if you don't want an automatic renewal

And do be aware that your 2nd year will cost more than the 1st year why is my account now $31 a month and not the $20....
