Benefits apply only to eligible orders from DashPass merchants that meet the merchant subtotal minimum.

How Do I Verify My Student Status?

Verify your student status with SheerID, DoorDash's verification partner. SheerID asks for your name, date of birth, school, and student email address. If automatic verification fails, upload a school document such as a transcript, class schedule, or tuition receipt. Manual review usually takes up to 24 hours, and SheerID sends an email when it is finished. Only college and university students at an eligible university can verify. High school students are not covered by the official student plan.

Is Student DashPass Free?

No, Student DashPass is not free now. The free 12 month sign-up ran from August 17, 2026 through October 12, 2026, and that window has closed. The live offer now is the regular Student DashPass plan at $4.99 per month. If you signed up during the free window, your 12 months run from your sign-up date, then move to $4.99 per month automatically.

What Happens After My Free Year or After Graduation?

After your free year ends, your plan moves to Student DashPass at $4.99 per month automatically, while you are still a student. After graduation, when SheerID can no longer confirm your student status, your plan moves to standard DashPass at $9.99 per month automatically. DoorDash sends an email before each change, and you can cancel any time before the change date to avoid being charged. Cancelling ends your DashPass benefits at the end of the month of cancellation.

Change	What happens	Price after
Free year ends	Moves to Student DashPass automatically	$4.99 per month
Graduation, student status ends	Moves to standard DashPass automatically	$9.99 per month
You cancel	Benefits end at the end of the month of cancellation	No charge after cancellation

How Can Students Save Without a Student Code?

Students save without a student code through the Offers tab, the checkout Promotions panel, group orders, pickup, and gift cards. Follow this routine in order, and check each place before you pay.

Is Student DashPass Worth It?

Yes, Student DashPass is worth it if you order at least 1 eligible order per month, because the delivery fee saved on one order is usually $3.99 to $5.99, close to the $4.99 monthly price. At 2 orders per month it clearly pays for itself. It is usually not worth it if you order less than once a month, order mostly for pickup, or order below the merchant minimum. Students who already get free DashPass through Chase, T-Mobile, Lyft, or Chegg should not pay for Student DashPass as well, because the benefits do not stack.
