See our landing page for students at https://chatgpt.com/students to claim your offer. Offer valid for students in the US and Canada
We are offering a Plus discount for students on a limited-time basis in the US and Canada. This is an experimental consumer program and we may or may not expand this to more schools and countries over time.
What terms apply to these student promo codes?
OpenAI’s Terms of Service apply. By using student promotional codes, you agree that they must be used for the intended audience and purpose, may not be duplicated, sold or transferred, may have additional conditions applied to them by OpenAI, are not valid for cash or other credits or points, and may expire prior to your use.
There is a limit of one student promotional code per subscriber, and we reserve the right to revoke, terminate, or cancel the promotional codes, your use of the ChatGPT service, and/or your account without refund in cases of suspected misuse or fraud, or in compliance with applicable law.
Am I eligible for the student offer?
Full and part-time students at degree-granting schools in the United States and Canada are eligible for this offer. If you don’t see your school on the student verification list, please click this link to receive further assistance from our partner.
This will let you submit a request to add your school, find it by another name, or see if your school is not eligible for this offer. This is a consumer offering that is not associated or sponsored by any specific school.
⚠️ To access this offer, you must be located in the United States (including territories such as Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam) or Canada.
Students will not be able to access the offer via VPN, with the exception of known educational VPNs in the U.S. & Canada.
I’m having trouble verifying my student or educator status through SheerID. Can OpenAI Support help?
We rely on SheerID to verify academic credentials. If your verification fails or you’re asked for documentation OpenAI Support cannot override or expedite SheerID’s verification process. Please contact the SheerID help center for assistance.
How do you know I’m a student?
We verify student status using SheerID’s secure verification system, which confirms your eligibility through multiple methods:
Authoritative Sources: SheerID first checks trusted databases, such as your university's Office of the Registrar, to instantly verify your student status.
Single Sign-On (SSO): If necessary, you’ll be prompted to log in securely with your school's SSO credentials, confirming your affiliation directly through your institution.
What if I’m from a university included in the offer but am having an issue with verification?
If instant verification isn't possible through these methods, you may be asked to upload additional documentation for manual review to SheerID. Data submitted directly to SheerID for manual review is only processed by SheerID to conduct the verification process. Please contact the SheerID help center for assistance.

Is the additional information provided for manual review only used for verification?
The information is used primarily for verification purposes. It is uploaded to SheerID to generate a verification result (approve/reject).
Is the data for manual verification uploaded to us or to SheerID?
The additional data is uploaded to SheerID. SheerID collects the personal data directly from the consumer and obtains consent for processing based on the privacy policies of its customer (the Controller).
For instant verification, is the data collected under SheerID’s privacy policy or ours?
For instant verification, data is collected and processed under SheerID’s privacy policy, with the consumer’s consent obtained prior to processing.
How do I get the offer?
You can access the offer by verifying your student status through SheerID here. Once verified, you will be redirected back to ChatGPT to claim your offer.
What’s included in the offer?
Students can claim access to ChatGPT Plus for free from March 31, 2025 - May 31, 2025. The offer is valid for two months once you claim it. After the discount period, standard ChatGPT Plus rates apply unless you cancel.
I already have a ChatGPT Plus subscription, how do I get this offer?
Existing ChatGPT Plus users can access this offer by verifying your student status through SheerID. Once verified, you will be redirected to ChatGPT and your account will automatically be credited for the two free months.
How do I resolve the Document Review Limit Exceeded error?
This occurs in the rare case where a student manually uploads three documents to verify their status, and all are rejected.
OpenAI Support will not be able to help with this type of error.
If you have exceeded the limit for uploaded documents and are unable to manually verify your student status, please contact the SheerID help center.
I have a ChatGPT Pro subscription. Can I get the offer?
This offer applies to ChatGPT Plus only. Users will not be able to apply promotional offer to existing or new Pro subscriptions.
How do I claim the promotion when I already have an existing mobile subscription for Plus via Google Play / Apple Subscriptions?
Users that have an existing mobile subscription cannot apply the promotional discount. However, users that would like to apply for this discount could start a new subscription via web-browser and cancel their existing mobile subscription to avoid being double-charged.
What if I have an existing promotion tied to my ChatGPT account?
This promotion will replace any existing promotion associated with your account.
I accidentally signed up for the student discount on the wrong account or email. What should I do?
At this time, we aren't able to reset the SheerID verification process or transfer your eligibility to a different account. If you’ve already verified your student status but used the wrong email or account, you’ll need to continue using the account you verified with to claim and use your student discount.
Tip: Make sure you’re signed into the same account you verified with when visiting chatgpt.com/students to complete your enrollment.
I’ve already been verified by SheerID, but I keep getting taken back to the verification page when completing the claim process.
This often happens when you're signed into a different account than the one you originally used to verify. SheerID verification is tied to your personal info (name, school, and date of birth), not your email, so if you try to verify again with the same info from a different account, you may see a “Verification Limit Exceeded” message.
Please try logging in with the account you used to verify and return to chatgpt.com/students to claim your offer. If you're not sure which account was used or you're still having trouble, please contact our support team before attempting to cancel your subscription.
I’m on the checkout page and it looks like I’m going to be charged $20. Is the discount working?
Don’t worry — the student discount should be automatically applied at checkout. Scroll to the bottom of the checkout page and look for a line that says “100% off with student discount” or similar.
If you don’t see the discount applied, do not continue with payment. Instead, contact our support team so we can help verify your discount was successfully applied.
I accidentally signed up for ChatGPT Plus and was charged $20 before enrolling in the student program. Can I still get the discount?
Yes! Please do not cancel your subscription — doing so may interfere with applying your student offer. Reach out to our support team and we’ll be happy to refund the $20 charge and ensure you’re properly enrolled in the 2-month free student plan.
I want to make sure I don’t forget to cancel after my 2-month trial. Can I cancel now and still keep my student benefits?
Unfortunately, if you cancel your subscription early, your access to ChatGPT Plus will end immediately — even if you're still within your 2-month student trial.
We recommend setting a calendar reminder to cancel near the end of your trial if you don't want to continue with a paid subscription after the student promo ends.
I canceled my account right after signing up and lost access to my Plus features. Can I get them back?
As indicated on the cancelation page, when you cancel your subscription, your access to ChatGPT Plus (and any related promotions including student benefits) ends. If you have cancelled your subscription, we're unable to reinstate the discount.
