Typically 1 year; re-verification may be required. Keep student documents accessible for renewal.

Some providers extend a post-grad grace period while others end discounts upon graduation. Check provider policies for specifics.

  1. Confirm your institution is supported by the provider's verifier.
  2. Initiate signup and choose "Student" plan.
  3. Complete verification via SheerID or provider form using your student email or ID.
  4. Start subscription and save; set calendar reminder for re-verification.
