Eligible students and educators are those who are enrolled at, employed by, or contractors of a qualified educational institution, which is one that has been accredited by an authorized governmental agency for the primary purpose of teaching enrolled students. This includes accredited middle schools, high schools, higher education institutions, and homeschools. Lab and IT administrators of qualified educational institutions can also gain access to benefits and free multi-user access. For more information, see Who is eligible for the Education plan?

  1. Make sure you are still eligible for educational access by reviewing who is eligible.

  2. On the Education Products Page sign in using the "sign in" icon at the top right of the page.

  3. If your Educational Access expiration date has not passed, you can click Renew in the personalized banner notification. Once you confirm your eligibility, your access will be automatically extended for another year. Any product subscriptions that you hold will also be automatically extended for another year.

If your Educational Access expiration date has passed, select a product to start the verification process. Note: Once you confirm your eligibility, you will only have a subscription to the product you selected, as your previous product subscriptions have expired. You will need to return to the Education Products Page to select more products. For more information, see Renew access for students and educators.
