How to Get an HP Student Discount

Save money on laptops and printers for school

Updated March 23, 2020

Through Unidays, Hewlett-Packard (HP) offers discount codes that students can redeem to save up to 55 percent on computers, laptops, printers, scanners, and other hardware.

Who Is Eligible for the HP Student Discount?

To qualify for HP student discount codes through Unidays, students must be:

At least 16 years old.
Currently enrolled at a college or university.
Able to access either a .edu email address or student ID issued by their school.

Unidays does not allow parents to sign up for their children. Students must sign up on their own, and they must meet the age and enrollment requirements.

How Much Can You Save With the HP Student Discount?

HP student discounts through Unidays vary based on current offers. Coupon codes typically provide a discount of 35 to 55 percent on a variety of HP products, including laptops, printers, calculators, and more.

Since HP discounts through Unidays are not set in stone, the amount that you can save, and the products that are eligible, will vary over time. To find out exactly how much money you can save, you must check the Unidays website to see what's available.

After you sign up for Unidays and verify your enrollment, you can view the current offers and generate coupon codes on HP's site. Since codes are not applied until you reach the shopping cart, you won't see your student discount reflected in any of the prices on the HP website prior to checkout.

How Does HP Verify Student Enrollment?

Since HP does not have an in-house student discount plan, it cannot verify student enrollment. The third-party service Unidays verifies student enrollment by checking records.

Unidays is able to verify student enrollment at most four year universities and colleges. Manual verification is available for many schools that are not already in the system.

The same student discount service is used by several large companies, including Apple and Dell. Once you have signed up and verified your enrollment, you can take advantage of Unidays student discount codes for hundreds of different companies.

How to Sign Up for the HP Student Discount

Since you obtain HP student discount codes through Unidays, you need to sign up for a Unidays account to access discounts. Here's how to sign up:

Navigate to the Unidays website and select the menu icon indicated by three horizontal lines (≡) in the top-left corner.
Select Join now.
Enter your email address, choose a password, and select Join now.
Enter your school information. Select Continue.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete your verification process. If you are unable to verify automatically or if your school is not listed, contact Unidays for the manual verification procedure.

How to Use Your HP Student Discount

To get an HP student discount through Unidays, you need to use Unidays to generate a one-time-use coupon code. This process involves visiting the Unidays site, generating a coupon code from HP, and then using the coupon code on HP's website.

Navigate to the Unidays website, locate an HP offer, and select Redeem Online.

If you don't see an HP deal, try entering HP or Hewlett-Packard into the search field.
Select Redeem Code.
Copy your code and select Launch Website.

This code works only once and expires in a short while.
On the HP website, locate a laptop, printer, or other product you'd like to buy. Add the item to your shopping cart and proceed to checkout.
Enter the coupon that you obtained from Unidays and verify that your discount applies correctly. If the discount does not apply, try generating a new code. If that does not work, contact Unidays for additional support.
