Verification Help & Guidance
Hi everyone,
Hi everyone,
I'm a university student and I've been trying to get verified for the Student Developer Pack for the past 3 days, but my application keeps getting rejected.
Here's what I've tried:
Uploaded a clear photo of my official university ID card showing my full name, university name, student ID, email, and academic year 2025/2026
Made sure my GitHub profile name and billing name match exactly as shown on my ID
Submitted the application while on campus using mobile data
Tried multiple times on different days
My university email was automatically recognized by GitHub as an academic domain, so the school is in the system.

The rejection message just says "We were unfortunately not able to verify your academic status" with no specific reason.
Has anyone faced this issue before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
