Common Questions

▼
Do I need a .edu email address to verify?
No, you don't need a school email address. You can use your personal email with your Unity ID. Verification is done through SheerID using your academic enrollment documentation, not email domain.
Can I use Unity Student for commercial projects?
Yes, you can use Unity Student for commercial projects as long as your total finances remain under $1M USD in the last 12 months. If you exceed this threshold, you'll need to upgrade to a paid Pro or Enterprise license.
How long does verification take?
SheerID verification typically takes up to 48 hours. Once approved, you'll receive an email from accounts@unity3d.com with your license key and instructions for redeeming additional benefits.
Can I use this for a classroom or school computer lab?
No, the Unity Student plan is for individual students on personal devices only. Schools and institutions should apply for the separate Unity Education Grant License for classroom use.
What happens when I graduate?
Your Unity Student license is renewable annually while you remain an enrolled student. After graduation, you'll need to transition to Unity Personal (free for under $100K revenue) or purchase Unity Pro.
Is this different from Unity Personal?
Yes, Unity Student includes the full Pro Editor with additional features like console publishing, expedited support, plus bonuses like the 20% Asset Store discount and free premium assets that aren't included in Unity Personal.
