How to Get an Apple Student Discount

Take advantage of Apple student deals on MacBooks and more

Apple has a reputation for making devices like laptops and tablets that are built to last. However, that durability comes at a steep price. If you’re a student, save money on products like MacBooks and iPads with an Apple student discount through UNiDAYS, or take advantage of Apple education pricing directly through the company.

Apple Education Pricing and Student Discounts are available to college students, educators, and homeschool teachers.

Who Is Eligible for Apple Education Pricing?

Unlike most student discounts, Apple’s education pricing is available to a range of students and educators across all grade levels. To qualify for Apple education pricing, you need to meet at least one of these requirements:

• Currently enrolled at a college or university.
• Newly accepted to a college or university.
• A teacher at any grade level.
• A homeschool teacher at any grade level.
• Faculty or staff at a school of any grade level.

What Does Apple Education Pricing Get You?

Education pricing provides a small discount on most Apple products. Save on the Apple MacBook, iMac, and iPad lines, as well as some accessories and monitors. In some cases, you can get more substantial student discounts for Apple Music and other specific products.

The Apple education pricing site shows the price you’ll pay with the education discount, but it doesn’t show the original price. To see how much you’ll save on any given product, view that product in the Apple education store, check the same product in the regular Apple store, and then compare prices. For example, in the Apple Education Store, a basic 13-inch MacBook Air is listed at $899, while it’s $999 on the regular Apple store online.

How to Get a Student Discount on Apple Products

Saving money through the Apple Education Store is a simple matter of shopping through the education store website instead of the regular online Apple store. You don’t have to sign up for anything. You’ll use your regular Apple account. There’s no upfront verification process.

Here’s how to use Apple’s education pricing:

Select the product line you’re interested in.

Choose the product you want, then choose Select.

Choose the options you want, then select Add to Bag.

Select Review Bag.

Select Check Out.

Choose your delivery method, enter your payment information, and complete the checkout process normally.

While Apple doesn’t verify your education pricing qualifications at the time of purchase, it occasionally performs audits. If you can’t verify your enrollment, Apple reserves the right to charge your credit card for the difference between education and regular pricing on the items you purchased.

Getting the Apple Student Discount Through UNiDAYS

To qualify for Apple student discounts on UNiDAYS, you must meet a few basic requirements and prove your eligibility. You must be:

• At least 16 years old.
• Currently enrolled at a college or university.
• Able to access either a .edu email issued by your school or a credit card-style student ID from your school.

UNiDAYS doesn’t allow parents to sign up for their children. Students must sign up on their own, and they must meet the age and enrollment requirements.

What Does the UNiDAYS Apple Student Discount Get You?

Apple student discounts on UNiDAYS vary based on the current offers. Coupon codes typically provide a flat discount on specific products, such as $200 off MacBooks, or share promotions that are on the Apple website.

The availability and type of Apple student discounts found on UNiDAYS vary, so you should check frequently to keep up on the latest offers.

How Does UNiDAYS Verify Student Enrollment?

Unlike the Apple Education Store, which doesn’t immediately verify your qualifying status, UNiDAYS verifies your educational status upfront. You’ll need to provide proof of enrollment before gaining access to discount offers.

UNiDAYS can automatically verify student enrollment at most four-year universities and colleges. Manual verification is available for many schools that aren’t in the system.

Other companies, including Dell, use UNiDAYS to offer discounts. After you sign up and verify your enrollment, take advantage of UNiDAYS student discount codes for hundreds of companies.

How to Sign up for UNiDAYS and Find Apple Discounts

Here’s how to sign up and get verified as a student on the UNiDAYS website to take advantage of Apple discounts. Set up your account on a Mac, PC, or portable device, such as a smartphone.

Navigate to the UNiDAYS website and select Menu (the three vertical lines) in the upper-left corner.

Select Join now.

Enter your email address, select a password, then select Join now.

Enter your school information and select Continue.

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the verification process. If you can’t verify automatically or if your school isn’t listed, contact UNiDAYS for manual verification instructions.

How to Use Your Apple Student Discount Through UNiDAYS

To get an Apple student discount through UNiDAYS, take a look at Apple’s current offers. If you find one you want to use, UNiDAYS either generates a coupon code for you to use on the Apple website, or the site gives you an activation link that automatically applies the promotion and takes you to the Apple website.

Here’s how the process works:

Navigate to the UNiDAYS Apple portal and browse the available offers.

Select Get Now on the offer you want.

Select Redeem Code if there’s a coupon code, or select Activate Promotion, which takes you to the Apple website with the discount automatically applied.

The type of discount offer varies. Sometimes coupon codes are available, and other times you’re given the option to apply a discount.

If there is a code to redeem, copy it, then select Launch Website. Apply the discount code during your regular checkout process on the Apple website.

Who is eligible for an Apple student discount?

01. Further or higher education students

All you have to be to qualify for a student discount, is 16 or older and enrolled in further or higher education such as university or college, with the student ID to prove it — how simple is that? You can get the Apple student discount as soon as you’ve been accepted onto your sixth form, college, or university course, even if you haven’t started yet.

02. Parents of students

It may come as a surprise, but it’s not only students who can claim an Apple student discount, parents can too. If you are a parent or guardian of a student in further or higher education (as described above) and are buying an Apple device on your child’s behalf, then you’ll qualify for the discount too. Remember though, you can’t claim the discount if you’re buying the product for yourself.

03. People working in education

If you work in education then you can also qualify for an Apple student discount. Staff members at further or higher education colleges and universities, both public and private, can apply; you’ll need to provide documentation that proves where you work. You don’t have to be a teacher or lecturer; non-teaching staff such as administrative workers are eligible too.

If you work in education then you’ll also qualify for an Apple Student discount. If you are a staff member at a (either private or public) further or higher education college or university you can treat yourself to some Apple savings. You’ll need to provide some documentation that proves where you work, and it doesn’t matter if you are a teacher, lecturer, non-teaching staff, or homeschool teacher serving as a member of the school board — you are all eligible for an Apple student discount. Apple has even made it so service executives of a PTA or PTO (parent-teacher association or organisation) can save on its products.

How to get an Apple student discount

You don’t have to be a student! Apple student discounts are available for students, teachers, education workers, parents, school board members and PTA members, and you can get them by visiting the Apple Store for Education and then verifying your credentials.

How you get it, however, varies depending on where you are. In the USA, visit the US Apple Store for Education, ideally using your university network, and follow the steps to choose your items. It’s good to have your proof of eligibility to hand, although you may not need it, as Apple seems to be largely operating on a trust system, and only asking for this on a random basis.

In the UK, it’s a little less straightforward. To get your Apple student discount, visit the UK Apple Store for Education where you’ll be invited to sign up online via the student discount website Unidays. It’s free to register, but you’ll need to provide the name of your college and details about your course, or similar information if you’re applying as a parent, teacher, etc.

If that all sounds like far too much hassle, there’s an alternative route to getting your Apple student discount. It’s possible to sign up by calling or chatting online with Apple directly, or by visiting an Apple Store in person.

What products does the discount apply to?

If you’re looking for a Mac, then the Apple Student Discount applies to the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro (13-inch), MacBook Pro (16-inch), iMac and iMac Pro, as well as the Mac Pro and the Mac mini. Meanwhile, if you’re on the hunt for iPad, you’ll find an Apple Student discount on the iPad Pro and iPad Air, as well as the iPad and the iPad mini.

The big news right now is that you can get an Apple student discount on select Mac computers (iMac, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini) and iPads (iPad Air and iPad Pro). You can save up to $200 / £280 on a Mac and up to $100 / £80 on an iPad.

The other big Apple student discount at the moment is on Apple Music. This one’s a bit simpler: a straightforward 50 per cent off, which means you pay $4.99 / £4.99 per month rather than the normal $9.99 / £9.99 per month for up to 48 months.
