Verification Help & Guidance

Hi everyone,

I am running into a frustrating issue with my GitHub Student Developer Pack and could use some assistance or manual review.

I have been a member of the Student Developer Pack since 2024. Recently, I received an automated email stating that my GitHub Pro discount ends on June 29, 2026 (as shown in the attached screenshot). When I checked my account, it showed I was still enrolled in the developer pack.

Since I am still a student and am expected to graduate in 2027, I decided to proactively re-verify my student status just in case it was about to expire.

However, when I submitted the application, it was instantly rejected without any specific reason provided. Shortly after this, my entire Student Developer Pack was revoked. I have tried submitting the application multiple times since then, ensuring all my details are correct, but I keep getting rejected with no feedback on what is wrong
