Request for Student Discount Re‑Verification
Dear Cursor Pro Support Team,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out regarding my student discount verification. The system shows that I’ve reached the limit for this discount, but I haven’t used it before. Could you please review my account and help me activate the student discount correctly?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Can you give us a estimated duration on when we should expect the email. Because we dont want to miss the email again @condor
Hello, I’m having the same problem. Can you help me? @condor
exactly
I submitted verification for the cursor, but always responded “already redeemed or verified, or exceeded attempt limit” at the cursor page for over a month, and when I use the sheerID to check the status of the verification, it only respond with the completion success of the Spotify student verification. I have submitted the required documents and contacted sheerID team multiple times, and each time I received a canned answer: “I am sorry that we are unable to process your verification request” with no explanation.
Hello @condor, I need help. I wrote an email to Sheerid support, but they were quite inefficient, as they sent me a link for re-verification that redirected me to a page that doesn’t exist. I’m quite concerned, as my plan has been changed to free, and this has affected me quite a lot. If possible, I would appreciate it if you could contact me via DM to help me with this issue. 
Hi, I haven’t logged into my account for a few weeks and I received a message saying I need to verify my email address, but I can’t click the link and verify my email, how can I fix this?
Hello @condor My account is like this too. Can you help me delete it?
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my experience with the Student Pro Plan re-verification:
I verified my student status through SheerID in May 2025 and was granted 12 months of free Pro access.
In September 2025 I received an email asking me to re-verify, but the SheerID link produced an error (“please try again”) and gave me no option to retry.
As a result, my Pro access was terminated at the beginning of October even though I am still a student.
I contacted support as instructed, but I keep receiving automated responses saying my account is not eligible or that the deadline has passed.
Could someone from the Cursor team please review my case manually or advise how I can restore the access I was originally promised? I can provide any documentation needed.
Thank you very much.
Hi, when I had gotten the email for re-verification I did so multiple times and again few days later but I kept getting this:
Verification Limit Exceeded
We’re glad you’re enthusiastic, but it looks like you’ve already redeemed or attempted to redeem this offer.
now my pro plan is no longer there it seems. please help!
Hello @condor! My Pro subscription was disabled and they require re-verification by an email that did not arrive in the mail, what should I do?
@condor
I was on the Cursor Student plan. My re-verification through SheerID kept failing after several attempts, and my subscription was eventually cancelled. I’m unable to use the reverification link again because of the following error. Can you please help me re-verify my student status and restore the subscription?
Same issue @condor. I have not received any re-verification email. I am using a student account, but I haven’t received any email about this. This error message is still coming. Please DM me thanks.
I’m still experiencing the same issue and haven’t received a re-verification email yet. Could you please send me a direct message when convenient? Thank you.
I am a Pro user of Cursor and had an active student pack for my Pro subscription. I received a notification stating that I needed to re-verify my student ID before September 22, 2026, but I unfortunately missed the email and was unaware of the deadline. Now that the date has passed, I am unable to re-verify my student status. I am indeed a student, and Cursor Pro is extremely useful for me, but I cannot currently afford to pay for the subscription without the student discount. I would like to know how I can re-verify my student ID and regain access to the student benefits.
Same issue. I have not received any re-verification email. Please DM me thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to review my case and addressing the issue.
I originally signed up for Cursor with a regular free trial account. After that, I upgraded to Pro using the Student discount offer.
Today, while using the app, I received an “Upgrade to Pro” . When I visited the Cursor website, I saw the re-verification notice. I followed the link from my EDU email, but SheerID returned this message:
“Offer Sold Out! Due to tremendous demand, the offer is no longer available.”
Additionally, it seems that my country is currently not listed or supported on SheerID.
Hi, and thank you for addressing this issue.
I previously verified my student status through SheerID and have been using Cursor Pro with the student discount for several months without any problems. However, I recently lost access because I missed the re-verification email — it was sent to my EDU address, which I rarely check outside of school periods.
I understand the verification rules are strict to prevent abuse, but in this case, I didn’t receive any additional reminder or notification on my main account. Since my initial verification was legitimate and successfully approved, I’d like to kindly ask if there’s any possible way to restore my student benefits or re-verify my status again.
Many students seem to have faced the same issue, and we truly appreciate any support or clarification from the Cursor team or SheerID regarding this situation.
Thank you for your time and understanding!
i totally got caught up in that ‘re-verification’ request (which i honestly think was a way for them to pare down the number of free accounts using up their expensive resources) and to top things off i re-verified with my drivers license not my student id, so it kicked out as ‘an error’ and still shows that today.
i tried and tried and tried to explain to Robot Sam but there was no getting through - i think we’re screwed.
Gemini also offers student discounts (1 year free) and Replit also offers $15 free / month for students.
