Hi,
I am trying to verify my student status for the GitHub Student Developer Pack, but my application is not being approved/verified.
I have submitted the required student documents and information, but I am still facing issues with verification.
Could someone please guide me on what additional documents or steps might be required?
Thank you.

Unfortunately, community members cannot see the specific reason why a GitHub Student Developer Pack application was rejected.

A few common reasons applications are declined include:

• The document does not clearly show your full name.
• The school name is missing, abbreviated, or not easily readable.
• There is no indication of current enrollment or the current academic year.
• The uploaded image is cropped, blurry, or partially obscured.
• The information on the submitted documents does not match the details on your GitHub account.

To help narrow down the issue, could you share:

• The exact rejection message you received (with personal information removed)?
• What type of document you submitted (student ID, enrollment certificate, academic email, etc.)?
• Whether your institution provides an academic email address?

If you reapply, try to provide the strongest single piece of evidence available—typically an official enrollment certificate or student document that clearly shows:

• Your full name
• The institution name
• Current enrollment status
• A recent academic date or term

With the rejection message and document type, the community may be able to offer more specific guidance.
