Upgrade to the Plus plan for education

Individual students and teachers

Individual students and teachers at accredited colleges and universities can upgrade to the Plus plan for free at any time. Before you upgrade, make sure of the following:

You have an educational email address associated with your Notion account. 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’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 & members in your sidebar → Billing → Change plan.

Once you’ve met the above requirements, follow these steps to upgrade to the free Plus plan:

Go to Settings & members in your sidebar.
Select Upgrade plan.
Select Get free education plan. If your school is recognized by our system, you’ll be upgraded automatically!

Note: Unfortunately, you must have a valid educational email address to upgrade to the Plus plan. We don’t accept student IDs or other documentation to verify a student or educator status at this time. Thank you for your understanding!

Student organizations

If you want to upgrade to the Plus plan for your student organization’s workspace, you can find more information and apply here. To be eligible for the upgrade:

You must be a student representing a student organization at a verified higher education institution.
The person applying must be the student organization workspace’s admin. Only one application per organization will be approved.
Your email must be a valid educational email address.
All members in your student organization’s workspace must also have the same domain as your valid educational email address.
Your organization must be recognized by your institution.

Once you’ve applied, our team will reach out to let you know if you’ve been approved.

Troubleshooting

If you’re not able to upgrade to the Plus plan for education:

You might be subscribed to a paid plan already. If you are, you’ll want to downgrade to the Free plan first to see the option to upgrade.
Your account might not be tied to a valid educational email address. Make sure you change your account email to your educational email.
Your workspace might have multiple admins or members. The Plus plan for individual students and educators can only contain one member. Remove any additional admins or members and try again.
Your educational institution may not be recognized by our system. Our team can help — email us at team@makenotion.com.

Work with a group or team

As a reminder:

Individual students and teachers can upgrade to the Plus plan for free, and can work with up to 100 guests in their workspace.
Approved student organizations can upgrade to the Plus plan for free, and can invite guests and members to their workspace for free.
