Discount codes can only be applied to single payment products on CCK, not subscription products. If you want a discounted subscription product, you need to create a new subscription product with a discounted rate created for each payment.
A discount code allows you to share a code with your students to allow them to get a percentage, flat rate or free shipping discount for their purchase.

To create a discount code, navigate to your Store > Discounts > Add Discount
Select the type of discount you want to create.
