Upgrade to the Education Plan

Individual students & teachers

Individual students and teachers at accredited colleges and universities can upgrade to the Education Plan for free at any time.

To stay on the plan, verify your student status once a year with your school email. You can keep using the plan as long as you can verify that you have a valid education email.

We'll remind you before your anniversary date. If you can no longer verify with a valid education email, your workspace (including all your content) moves to the Free Plan.

Before you upgrade, make sure of the following:

You’re signed in with your education institution email. Your school email must be the main email on your Notion account. A school email added as an extra address won't count. If you’re using a personal email address with your Notion account, you can change it to your educational email address following the instructions here →
You can verify your school email each year. To stay on the Education Plan, your school email must stay active and remain the main email on your Notion account.
Your school is an accredited institution recognized by and listed in the World Higher Education Database here →
You’re on the Free Plan. If you’re currently paying for the Plus Plan, you can still take advantage of this offer. Downgrade to the Free Plan first by going to Settings in your sidebar → Billing → Change plan.
You only have one member in your account. The Education Plan for individual students and teachers can only contain one member. Remove any additional workspace owners and members before upgrading.
