Copilot student #140039

Select Topic AreaQuestion BodyHello, I activated the copilot free trial, but then I saw you can get it for free if you're a student. So I verified myself as a student. But now it says I will lose access to copilot after my free trial ends. Or will I still have access? Also how long will I have access to copilot as a student? |

Once you have completed the verification that you are a student, the Copilot system will identify and base on the validity of your student card to determine the limit for the Student development pack for Copilot. And of course, after the trial period ends, you will no longer be able to access Copilot for free, but you will have to pay to continue using it. |

That's correct, but first you have to do some step according its requirement to verify with the system that you are a student, otherwise the system will consider you as a normal trial user |

I just got an email from Github that says this: Dear GitHub customer, As you qualify for free access to GitHub Copilot, we recently sent you a refund receipt for your subscription. No other steps are needed to receive your free access to GitHub Copilot! Note: It may take up to 14 days for the refund to be processed by your payment provider. So I should be fine. |

Hello, my documents were approved about 10 days ago, but Copilot still wants a pro membership with free features. I have projects to complete, I would be very happy if the process is accelerated. |

Mine is similar; my GitHub account is verified as Pro, but Copilot isn't reflecting the upgrade. |
