How do I access Apple TV with student Apple Music subscription?

Apple states, "...if you have an Apple Music student subscription, you also get Apple TV+ for a limited time".

I have a billed student subscription and when I try to launch Apple TV I only get a prompt to redeem a free 3 month trial with my new iPhone purchase.

It seems like this should be included with the student subscription while I have that, correct?

What am I missing? What do I need to do to activate TV access?

I think any Apple student subscription would revert to a regular individual subscription if the qualification through UNiDAYS isn’t confirmed.

I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).

If you have an Apple Music Student subscription (as linked through UNiDAYS), then you should get complimentary Apple TV+ on that same Apple ID account (for countries where both services are available). No separate activation needed. It wouldn’t show as a separate subscription, but you should have full access to all of the Apple TV+ content in the Apple TV app. Have you tried watching any of the Apple TV+ shows or movies?
