How students can verify educational eligibility for themselves

This article is a step-by step guide for students who want to verify their educational eligibility.

Before starting these steps, you need to have a verified Autodesk Account. If you do not have one, see How to create an Autodesk Account for students. 
 

Prepare your student documents

Have your student identification card with you. If your school does not provide an ID, obtain a record from your school that shows your current enrollment. Examples of documents:
 

• School ID
  
  ID badge with full name of student, school name, and date. Photo not required

 

• School Transcript
  
  Transcript with full name of student, school name, and date

 

• School-issued confirmation letter
  
  School letterhead with full name of student, school name, and date

You may be asked to upload these documents as a file. Supported file types are JPG, PDF, PNG, and GIF.
 

To verify your student eligibility

1. Sign in to your Autodesk Account and check your profile: https://profile.autodesk.com/personalinfo. Verify that your name matches your student identification.
    
2. Visit https://www.autodesk.com/education/edu-software and click Get Started.
   
   
    
3. Under educational role, select Student and enter your date of birth.
   
   
   Important: Select your educational role carefully. You cannot change your role later.
    
4. Click Next. Enter your Country and Institution type (High School or University). Next, in the Name of Educational Institution box, start typing your school’s name.
   
   Type in more detail and click your school’s name when it displays in the list.
   
   If your school is not listed, try a different Institution Type. If your school is not listed under any type, you can Request to have your educational institution added. Try again after your school has been added by SheerID.
    
5. Select your enrollment date and expected graduation date. This date does not need to be exact but should represent what term you started and about when you plan to graduate.
   
   
    
6. Verify your information. Be especially careful to check that your name and school name match your student documents. Click Confirm.
   
   If you see an error message that Something’s not quite right, check that your account is verified and that you clicked a school from the list.
    
7. If the Additional Documentation Needed page displays, upload your student documents.
   
    
   
   Upload your student documents and click Submit.
   
   If you used an email provided by your educational institution to create your account, you might not see this step. It may now take a couple of days for your eligibility to be confirmed.

 

8. Watch for a confirmation email and visit https://www.autodesk.com/education/edu-software again.
