Questions

How long does it last?
Until 31 March after the year you graduate, for up to four years. We'll email you six weeks and one week before it ends. Then you go back to the Free plan and your plans stay yours.
Do I need a card?
No. We don't ask for one, so there's nothing to cancel and you won't be charged.
I signed up with my personal email. Can I still get it?
Yes. Open the Student teacher page in Heapso, answer the question and confirm your student email from there. We send a link to that address.
My provider isn't on the list.
Some providers give students and staff the same email domain, so we can't tell them apart automatically. Email hello@heapso.com from your student address and we'll turn it on by hand.
I already pay for Pro.
You can cancel your subscription in Plan and billing and keep Pro free until your student time ends.
Can I get it more than once?
It's once per person and once per student email address.
