What you get at SoundCloud
SoundCloud Go+ Student gives every Go+ feature — ad-free, offline, high-quality listening — for half the regular price. SoundCloud's student page advertises 50% off; NBC lists the US price at $5.49 a month.
Who qualifies for the SoundCloud student discount
Students enrolled at a Title IV degree-granting college, university or post-secondary school. SoundCloud cannot override SheerID's eligibility decisions.
How to verify SoundCloud’s student discount
- 1Verify once with SheerIDSign up directly on SoundCloud (a computer or mobile browser, not the Apple or Google Play stores), go to Subscriptions and select 'Are you a student?'. SheerID then handles verification and may ask you to upload official student documents; an application stays live for 7 days.
- 2Sign in at SoundCloud with that SheerID account
- 3Re-verify once a yearValid 12 months, and you must re-verify each year, for a maximum of 4 consecutive years. Miss the re-verification and you are charged the full price.
Limits and exclusions
The verified email must be the one on your SoundCloud account or the discount will not apply. Existing Go+ subscribers can apply and the discount lands on the next renewal.
Other brands that take your SheerID verification
Your SheerID account already covers these, so claiming them costs no second upload.
