Student verification without education email

[Demyan27846976w0hr]

I am a student from Ukraine, but because of the war temporarily live in the UK. But I still continue to study in Ukrainian collage online, and now want to learn how to use different Adobe programs for future work, so I need access to them.

Our collage do not give us any special emails, but I still want to have adobe for students. Is there any way to certify that I am a college student with documents, for example, for adobe? Also, I got Spotify for students, so I believe this is possible

Hi @Demyan27846976w0hr,

You can provide additonal proof of your eligibitlity if Adobe asks about it after the purchase. See the FAQ section at the bottom at https://www.adobe.com/in/creativecloud/buy/students.html

I paste the relevant section here as well

Adobe verifies student status through the school-issued email address provide during purchase. A school email address may include .edu, .k12, or other email domains sponsored by educational institutions. If you do not have a school-issued email address or your email address cannot be verified, additional proof of eligibility may be requested after purchase.

Students and educators at accredited schools

Proof of eligibility must be a document issued by the institution with your name, institution name, and current date. Types of proof of enrollment include:

• School ID card
• Report card
• Transcript
• Tuition bill or statement

Homeschooled students

Proof of eligibility may include:

• Dated copy of a letter of intent to homeschool
• Current membership ID to a homeschool association (for example, the Home School Legal Defense Association)
• Dated proof of purchase of curriculum for the current academic school year

*Accredited schools are those that are approved by an association recognized by the U.S. Department of Education/State Board of Education or the Canadian/Provincial Ministries of Education and that teach students as their primary focus. In the U.S., such associations include: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. † Documents dated within the last six months are considered current.

Okay, but how I can understand that my collage is accredited?

you can google your college and accreditation.

I called directly Adobe support, and they answered that all the collages and universities are accredited

[kglad]

i'm not sure how helpful that is because the issue then becomes who/what can be called a college and university.  

[Demyan27846976w0hr]

No, I didn't realise that until you have documents, every collage is accredited. So, for someone like me, it was an answer I was searching for

[kglad]

well, i have a youtube channel (about debugging adobe animate canvas code). 

what's to stop me from naming my channel/debuggin program the "university of kglad", or "kglad college".  obviously, nothing stops me (except my personal ethics) and no name implies accreditation.
