I typed in my wrong college email
I typed in my wrong college email when I was trying to sign up for the $4.99 a month Apple Music and now I can’t verify that I’m a college student. How can I change the email?

Get an Apple Music Student Membership
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you need to change your email address and get verified again for an Apple Music student membership. The resource below explains how to do this, and provides contact information for UNIDAYS if you need more help.
Get an Apple Music Student Membership
Verify your eligibility
Near the end of each year that you have an Apple Music Student subscription, you'll be asked to verify your student status. The steps are slightly different depending on if you're using an iOS device or an Android phone.
On an iOS device
During the verification period, you might see a message in the Music app that asks you to verify your status. To verify your status:
- Tap Verify Eligibility.
- Tap "Go to Website."
- Sign in to your institution's portal.
After you sign in to your institution’s portal, you’ll be directed back to Apple Music and see a confirmation screen.
You can also verify your student status at any time through Settings on your iOS device:
- Go to Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store.
- Tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. You might need to authenticate your Apple ID.
- Tap Subscriptions. If you have more than one subscription, tap Apple Music Membership.
- Tap "Verify your student status." You'll be redirected to a website at which you'll confirm your student status with UNiDAYS, a student verification service.
- Follow the prompts to verify your eligibility. If the verification is successful, you'll automatically return to Apple Music and continue your Apple Music Student subscription.
If you're no longer a student or if you complete 48 months of a Student subscription, your subscription automatically becomes an Apple Music Individual subscription. If you're prompted to verify your student status after launching Apple Music, but you are no longer a student or have completed 48 months of a subscription, tap I'm No Longer A Student. You won't be asked to verify again.
