Hi everyone,

Hello, GitHub:

I'm a remote student and a US citizen at a US institution (Florida Atlantic University) that I enrolled in before my family was stationed overseas. I'm enrolled in dissertation hours so I am just working with my advisor to finish my PhD in Computer Science overseas. My situation does not seem to be understood by whatever automatic system is judging the eligibility for a GitHub Education account, though. The documents and explanations I submitted should be pretty clear to a person; I showed my current dissertation hours registration info with name and school URL, as well as evidence that I have a diplomatic passport. It feels pretty insecure having to come on to a public forum just to let GitHub know all this, though, because no direct support messages are allowed. One this is resolved, I'd appreciate if this post/discussion were removed.

Please contact me directly at the email associated with my account.
