Body

I've became student verified a month ago, but I don't have access to copilot pro.
I've read in other discussions that I can take a few days, but these seem to be more in the range of 5-7 Days.

Hey!
If you followed the steps here, it should be automatic: https://github.com/education

I can see that your profile has the Pro badge, so your Copilot pro access should be applied automatically.
You can check your subscription status in the settings: https://github.com/settings/copilot

If its still not working you can try logging out and back in and if it still doenst work then wait a little bit more and contact the support!

Hope it gets sorted soon

Hi! @itsyoshio, It can take a few days for Copilot Pro to be activated after student verification, usually around 5-7 days. If it's been longer than that, I recommend checking the following:

• Check your email (including spam) for any updates from GitHub about your verification.
• Make sure your GitHub Student Pack is fully activated and your student status is confirmed.
• If it’s still not working, contact GitHub Support for help.

Hi @itsyoshio ,

What's the status of your application?

If the label is green and states "Congrats! Your request for @itsyoshio was approved and your benefits will be available soon. that means you have to wait. It usually takes a few days, but sometimes it can take a little longer, even a couple of weeks; the waiting time may vary depending on different factors, such as the volume of requests.

If the label is purple and states "Congrats! Your request for @itsyoshio was approved and your benefits are now available.", that means you should have access to your benefits. Try first going to the pack offers page, scroll down to the "All offers" section and select Copilot, if you can redeem it you are fine, if you can't, I suggest you to raise a ticket here, select "I am a verified student having trouble redeeming my Global Campus offers" and explain your issue.

For further reference, take a look at 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?
