Do I need to renew my discount every year?

Review full answer

Yes, you must renew your discount every year. However, if your information is up to date within ID.me, we’ll automate the process for you.

To renew, follow the same process you used when you first registered for your discount. Visit our How to register or renew discounts page.

If you don't complete your renewal within 30 days after your annual renewal date, you'll lose the discount.

After I register, how do I confirm that my students discount has been applied?

Review full answer

Learn how to see your discount in your Verizon account by visiting our How to register page.

If I stop going to school for a period of time will my students discount be canceled?

Review full answer

After you enroll, your students discount is valid for 4 years total. Those years don't have to be back-to-back. However, you won't get the discount during any semester(s) you take off.

For example, if you go to school for a year then take a semester off, you'll still have 3 years left to get the discount if you return.

When you return, you will need to re-verify that you are actively enrolled in an eligible secondary educational institution.
