Answer

If GitHub Copilot for Students is rejecting your application even though your name matches, the problem may be with student-status verification, not just the name.

GitHub recommends submitting clear proof of current enrollment, such as:

• Student ID showing your current enrollment/date
• Current class schedule
• Academic transcript
• Official enrollment/affiliation letter

The document should clearly show your name and current academic status.

What to try

1. Make sure your GitHub account name matches your academic document.
2. Add and verify your academic email on GitHub if your school requires one.
3. Reapply using a clear, readable document with a current date.
4. If GitHub still rejects it, contact GitHub Education Support and explain that your name matches but verification is failing.

Once your student status is verified, Copilot Student is available for free.

If your name matches but GitHub is still rejecting the application, the problem may be with the student verification.

Try these things:

• Upload a clear photo of your student ID.
• Make sure your current college details are visible.
• Add and verify your college email on GitHub.
• Try submitting again with a clear, recent document.

If it still doesn’t work, contact GitHub Education Support and tell them that your name matches but your verification keeps getting rejected.
