Account creation

To get a student account, please follow these few steps:

• Create a Rayon account, at this link, using an academic institutional email. Note that generic emails (like gmail, hotmail, etc.) will not be eligible for a student account.

• During the onboarding, when asked, please don't forget to select the ‘I am a student’ option.

  • If your school is already in our student program, then you will automatically be set on the student plan.

  • If your school is not yet in our student program, and you declared in the onboarding that you were a student, then you will receive a form by email, a few minutes after signing up, allowing you to submit your application to get a student plan. If you are validated, we will bump you to our student plan, and add your university to our list of partner universities. This way, all students signing up to Rayon after you will receive automatically a student status.

• Your student plan will give you access to all the features of our Pro plan: watermark-less exports, access to Rayon's entire libraries, etc.

FAQ

Questions students usually ask, answers we usually give!

Is my school accredited already?

To know, simply create a Rayon account using your institutional email, and choose the "student/faculty" option in the onboarding. If your school is accredited, you will receive a validation email right after the end of your onboarnding, confirming that you have been granted a student account

My university does not provide students with institutional emails. Can I send you my student ID for proof?

Unfortunately, no. Non-institutional emails (like Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) will not be eligible for a student account.

I created a Rayon account, but I did not mention I am a student in the onboarding. How can I fix this?

You need to delete your account under the main menu > settings > delete account and create a new one.

My school gave me an alumni email; can I use it to get a student plan?

Unfortunately, no. We only grant a student plan to active/enrolled students. Alumni email are therefore not accepted.
