Teachers & Students Discount Program

Who is eligible for this offer?

• All teachers, staff, and faculty employed by K-12 schools and colleges/universities in the United States
• Currently enrolled full time and part time college or post-secondary students. Eligibility may be limited to students in only certain countries - those eligible countries are shown in the dropdown on the verification form.

How do I get verified?

• SheerID will collect some basic personal information to confirm your eligibility for the offer. We may also ask you to upload some documentation that substantiates your status and eligibility.
• To ensure a speedy and successful verification, please pay attention to how you enter your information on the form so that it will match what is seen on the document(s). For example, enter your first and last name on the form as it appears on your school document(s).
• To start the verification process, please click here and follow the instructions on the page.
• What kind of documents do I upload if asked?
  • Teachers, Faculty, and Staff:
    • You'll need to upload school-issued documentation that shows your:

      • First name

      • Last name

      • School name

      • Date showing employment within the current school year

      • We understand that your document may only include the name of your school district rather than the school name where you work. You can upload multiple documents through our interface, so if you're able to upload a document with the school name in addition to the document with the district name, that will help the verification process go smoothly.
  • Students:
    • You'll need to upload school-issued documentation that shows your 

      • First name

      • Last name

      • School name

      • Date showing current enrollment

        • Please note that we will be reviewing the date of enrollment, not the print date or view date of your document(s). For example, your transcript may have been printed yesterday, but it shows that your most recent enrollment in classes was a previous term. Future terms are also not eligible, so acceptance letters unfortunately are not proof you are currently enrolled.

I just uploaded a document. When will I hear back with results of my request?

Documents are reviewed in the order received. You will be contacted via email with additional details regarding your verification request. Please check your spam/junk folder if you do not see an email in your inbox. The email will let you know if you've been successfully verified or if additional information is needed to complete your verification.

As a student, my school isn’t on the list. What do I do?

If your school isn't on the list then you are not eligible for the offer at this time. To make sure you're not missing your school in the list, please type out the full name of your school.

What happens if I can't prove I’m a faculty member or student?

This is extremely rare. Eligible academic institutions provide multiple forms of documentation that we can accept, but in the event you cannot provide us any acceptable proof of eligibility or current enrollment, we will be unable to approve you for the offer. But to repeat, if you're currently employed by an eligible school or school district, or a student in an eligible school, you should have access to a document we can verify.
