Get a student discount on Apple Music and Apple TV for just $6 a month – here’s how
What happens to my Apple Music student discount if I don’t reconfirm my student status?
Your student subscription will automatically renew as an individual Apple Music subscription if you are still a student and do not confirm your student status during verification. If you want to get the discounted price, you will need to re-register as a student and go through the verification process.
How does Apple verify my student status?
For Apple Music student subscriptions, the tech giant has partnered with UniDays, which houses and shares student discounts at brands and stores across its territory and provides online student authentication services.

The current offer for Apple Music readers highlighted on the UniDays website is one month of Apple Music for free, followed by half price every month. Plus, you’ll get access to Apple TV+.
Is it safe to use student verification platforms like UniDays?
I wouldn’t be writing this article if there was anything remotely suspicious about this student discount from Apple, which requires UniDays verification. I used UniDays and other student discount platforms like studentbean all four years of college and completed the student verification process myself. It’s easy to do, and I had no problems. Although I have now graduated, I continue to keep up with the best student offers to share with friends, family, and ZDNET readers.
Of course, there is always a potential risk when you put any information online, so I recommend that you exercise caution. However, Apple is not willing to risk customer trust by dealing with dirty sites.

If Apple supports student authentication through UniDays (like many other companies), you can trust that the process has been tested. The company would lose a lot if it wasn’t there.
How long does an Apple Music student subscription take?
Students enrolled in a degree-granting institution can get up to 48 months of Apple Music at a discounted rate. Four years is the average time required to complete a bachelor’s degree at most colleges and universities.
How do I qualify for an Apple Music student subscription?
To be eligible for a (discounted) Apple Music student subscription, you must be a student pursuing an associate’s, bachelor’s, or postgraduate degree (or equivalent higher education course) at a college or university and have your student status verified.
Can I switch between subscription plans?
Once you’ve subscribed to Apple Music, you can change your subscription plan. Apple offers individual and family plans, as well as its own special student pricing plan. If you are a student who already pays full price for Apple Music, completing the steps to verify your student status will allow you to receive your student discount as well switch to the student program.
