What if email verification is not possible?

If visiting is not possible, contact the Apple education discount related customer center (02-6712-6770) or contact Apple’s official customer center (080-330-8877). You can receive it.
Now, simply go to your school email account and click the link in the email from Unidays to complete the verification right away.
Things to note
There is a mistake that is often made when entering the education discount store like this, which is to enter the product site by clicking the menu button in the upper left corner. If you access it like this, you will be redirected to the general purchase site, not the education discount store, and the discounted price will not be displayed.
Now, on this home screen, swipe to the bottom of the screen.
Then you will see a screen showing the discounted price. To purchase, you must select the product you want from this screen and purchase it.
Also, in the case of Mac products, you can only purchase once a year per account, so if you have purchased it and want to refund it, you should know in advance that the purchase is not possible during the period when the refund process is complete.
Price (not only product discounts, but also additional benefits?)
The Apple Education Discount Store offers discounts only for the Mac and iPad products. In the past, you could see the discounted price without student authentication, but starting this year, you have to authenticate to see the discounted price. Roughly, in the case of products less than 1 million won, discounts of less than 100,000 won, and products of 100 to 200 won are discounted by about 150,000 to 200,000 won.
It’s not just product prices that are discounted. Even when you want to upgrade RAM, storage space, or CPU, you can upgrade at a slightly discounted price from the regular Apple Store.
In addition, even outside of the new semester promotion period, Apple Care is basically 10% discounted and 20% discounted during the new semester promotion period, and AirPods are provided free of charge only when purchasing Mac products. (At this time, you can upgrade to AirPods Pro, etc. for an additional fee.)
