Follow-Up on GitHub Student Pack Approval

[3bodymo]

Hi everyone,

Hi,

I am writing to follow up on my GitHub Student Pack application, which was approved three days ago. While I received the approval notification, I have not yet been able to access the associated benefits.

Could you kindly confirm if there are any additional steps I need to take or if there might be a delay in processing? I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter so I can start utilizing the Student Pack benefits.

Hello,
If you have actually received confirmation on the page, then there is no reason to worry. Just wait.
As for me, it took about a week in october 2024.

Hi @3bodymo,

It's great to hear your GitHub Student Pack was approved! Sometimes, it may take a little while for the benefits to be fully activated, even after receiving the approval notification.

1. Double-check your email (including your spam or junk folder) for any further instructions or additional verification steps from GitHub.
2. If you still can't access the benefits, I recommend reaching out to GitHub Support for further assistance.
   They should be able to look into your account and help resolve the issue.

I hope this helps, and you can start enjoying your Student Pack soon!

Hi @3bodymo ,

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

• Congrats! Your request for @3bodymo 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.

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