By the tiswa editorial team, from the official sources listed at the end of this guide. How we write our guides
The short answer
- Online: the brand checks that you are a university student, then shows the student price or the code.
- In store: some deals are activated with your university card or an enrolment letter, like the student program at Fitness Time and the student ticket on the Riyadh metro.
- The easiest: tiswa. One verification opens student prices online and in store, with a live digital pass, free.
Three ways to prove you are a student
| Way | Where it works | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Online verification | Stores, subscriptions and software | Apple education prices and plans like YouTube Premium |
| University card or enrolment letter | Deals activated in person | Fitness Time and the Riyadh metro |
| A student discount app | Gathers the deals after one verification | tiswa: online and in store, with a live digital student ID |

The Riyadh metro has a student ticket at SAR 260 for 120 days. Where exactly the card counts: the student card.
Student discount apps
An app saves you checking every brand on its own. tiswa is made for students at Saudi universities, in Arabic and English: online brands delivered to every Saudi city, in-store partners in Jeddah, and the student price and the saving on every deal. Unipal offers are in store, mostly cafes, restaurants and entertainment, used with a digital student ID in its app. The UNiDAYS Saudi site sends you to the Apple Education Store.
