Educational verification issue

[Abokabera2024]

Hi everyone,

I register as student , complete my billing information and 2FA
but still I didn't receive any action to activate my account as educational account

GitHub typically takes up to 7 working days to process educational account applications. However, many users receive approval earlier—I personally got mine within 4 days after applying.

Since you've registered as a student, completed your billing information, and set up 2FA, you’re on the right track. If you haven't received an activation email yet, I recommend checking your spam folder and ensuring that your application meets all requirements.

If it’s been a while, you can also contact GitHub Education support for an update. Hopefully, you'll get approved soon! 🚀
