Unable to apply for GitHub Student due to this error: "CoreLocation framework reported a kCLErrorLocationUnknown."

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to reapply to the GitHub Student program, but I'm getting an error when I select my university

I've tried with different browsers, but I'm experiencing the same issue.

Try using a VPN or switching networks. If possible apply from your phone or another device. caching isn’t the issue prolly since different browsers didn’t help.

Hi @jfernandogt,

As you have already tried using different browsers and you still can't continue, try logging out and logging back in or use incognito mode, if none of that works try submitting the application using a smartphone which usually solves this sort of problem, also don't use VPNs because the location must be enabled in order to continue with the process otherwise you'll receive the error message "You appear to not be near any campus location for the school you have selected.".
