How do I verify my student status with my student ID?

A student who does not have an e-mail address issued by their institution may verify their student status in the Toon Boom Store during the purchasing process. 

The student ID needs to be manually verified by the Toon Boom Sales team. After the verification is complete, the student will receive an e-mail confirming the verification. This will give them access to a student discount.

In order to verify your status, you will first need a Toon Boom ID. If you have not yet created one, please see the step-by-step instructions in How do I create a Toon Boom account? before continuing.
