GitHub Education Verification/Approval

[jackolivershaw]

Hi everyone,

Hi all,

I have been verified through the Education portal with my teacher status, but I haven't seen any changes in my account (and am unable to access the enhanced Copilot). Any tips?

Cheers!

Hi @jackolivershaw ,

When the benefits become available, the status label will turn purple and change to:

• Congrats! Your request for @jackolivershaw was approved and your benefits are now available.

The waiting time may vary depending on different factors, such as the volume of requests; it usually takes a few days, but sometimes it can take a little longer, even a couple of weeks.

For further reference you can look at these discussions:
#132790 , #131665 , #132470 , #133531, #134279, #135849, #136887, #138721, #139268, #140287, #145640, #145995

And also the Student Developer Pack Application FAQs :

• How long after I submit my application will it be approved?
• How long after I’ve been approved will I receive my academic benefits?
