Common questions
Do I need to pay anything upfront?
No, the first year is completely free. You need to add a payment method for verification, but you won't be charged until after the 12-month trial ends (and you can cancel anytime).
Can I use my university email?
You need a personal Gmail account for access. Your university email may be used during SheerID verification, but the service runs through your personal Google account.

The subscription automatically renews at $19.99/month unless you cancel. Google will send email reminders before your trial ends.
I already have a Google One subscription. Can I still get this?
Yes! If you're eligible, your existing subscription will be automatically cancelled and you'll be refunded for any remaining time on your current billing cycle.
Is this available worldwide?
No. The offer is now effectively US-focused — sign-up windows in most other regions (UK, Europe, India and others) closed between late 2025 and early 2026. You can check your eligibility during the signup process.
Is there a deadline to sign up?
Google has used cohort-specific deadlines for this offer (earlier windows have already closed). Check gemini.google/students for the current sign-up window before counting on the free year.
