How to Sign up for the Tidal Student Discount
If you qualify for a student discount, you can sign up for the discount in a similar manner as a traditional membership to the music streaming service.
How to Verify You’re a Student
Once you’ve signed up as a student, you’ll need to provide details and prove you’re a student at a link from Tidal. This form will be two pages and ask for a few basic details that remain private and aren’t shared outside the verification process.
Understanding the Tidal for Students Fine Print
While the SheerID says it won’t rent or share your information and only uses it to verify details on behalf of Tidal, it also recommends you still cover sensitive information. On the submitting page it says: While an official Enrollment Letter from your academic institution is okay, SheerID says acceptance letters will not be approved. Beyond the listed forms of valid documents above to prove your student status, these are also acceptable:
Class schedule for the current academic termRegistration or tuition receiptTranscript that shows classes currently in progress
Who Qualifies for a Tidal Student Discount?
To get a student discount through Tidal, you must attend a “Title IV, degree-granting college/university in the United States.” While there are lots of classifications of students and schools, the Tidal discount doesn’t extend to every circumstance. Tidal uses a similar process as Spotify and works with a company called SheerID to help verify students for various promotions.
