Student FAQs
What is the Drawboard student offer?
Eligible students get a one-time payment for a 3-year Pro Plus license. There's no recurring subscription, just full access to Drawboard PDF for the length of an average degree.
Who's eligible?
Any current student with a valid email address from their educational institution (e.g., ending in .edu or your school's specific domain).
How do I get the discount?
Sign up or log in to the Web App or Windows App using your school email. The education pricing should apply automatically on the upgrade/pricing page.
What if the discounted price doesn't show up automatically?
This usually means your school's email domain isn't verified yet. Contact Drawboard support to get it verified.
I don't have a school-issued email. Can I still qualify?
Yes. Submit a support ticket with alternative proof of enrollment, such as a dated student ID or a letter of enrollment, and the team will review it.
Does the license work on all my devices?
Yes. One subscription covers the Web App, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and everything syncs automatically across devices.
What happens after 3 years, or if I graduate early?
Once your student email is no longer valid, you'll lose access to the education pricing, but you can upgrade to a regular license to keep using the app without interruption.
What can Drawboard actually help me do as a student?
Take handwritten notes on lecture slides, annotate readings, merge or split PDFs to build study packs, and use audio notes and bookmarks for exam prep. You can also collaborate live with classmates on shared documents.
Engineering and architecture students get calibration and measurement tools; STEM students get equation input and diagram labeling; law and business students get case-study hyperlinking and margin annotations.
Can I collaborate with classmates in real time?
Yes. Multiple users can mark up the same document simultaneously, which works well for group assignments and peer review.
