Re: Trying to get a version of After Effects for my Mac, I have the student version of CS6 and it's not included on there

So you already own a Student version of CS6, not including After Effects?

Now you want to get After Effects? Which version?

CS6 (non-Cloud)? or the latest Cloud version CC 2014?

You must have a 64 bit computer to run After Effects. All modern Macs are 64 bit but not all Windows.
