I try to reverify my Education account but it doesn`t work.

Hi everyone,

I try to reverify my education account after 2 years, but it doesn't work. I use academic email and also provide valide student ID but it keeps saying:

Your application cannot be reviewed until you fix the following:
You are unlikely to be verified until you have completed your GitHub user profile with your full name exactly as it appears in your academic affiliation document plus a short bio. Please do not use a variation of your name or a nickname. Once you have updated your profile information log out and log back into GitHub before re-applying.
Have you completed your GitHub user profile with all your relevant information, such as your full name as it appears in your image and a short bio?

What should I do with it?

A suggestion...(optional)

Dear @Topdev512

To address this issue, follow these steps:

1. Update Your GitHub Profile: Log in to your GitHub account > Go to your profile by clicking on your profile picture in the upper-right corner and selecting "Your profile." > Click the "Edit profile" button.

2. Ensure Your Full Name Matches Academic Affiliation Document: In the "Name" section, ensure that your full name exactly matches the name on your academic affiliation document, including any middle names or initials.

3. Add a Short Bio : Scroll down to the "Bio" section and enter a short bio about yourself.

4. Save Changes: After making these updates, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Update profile" button to save your changes.

5. Log Out and Log Back In: Log out of your GitHub account, Log back in to ensure that the changes you made to your profile have taken effect.

6. Reapply for Verification: Once you've updated your profile information and logged out and back in, you can try to reapply for verification using your academic email and student ID.

Hope this helps! 👍

Yes, you are correct partially. As I have gone through their other community posts, they were not using academics email as their primary email. It is because GitHub has updated their t&c and onboarding terms.

If you are from one of them, change your primary email and then try-out.

I tried and nothing changed( I dont understand why someone cant manually review my request.

[iHRex]

For your kind information, they no longer manually verify each request. If you have edu-email, you are welcome, if you don't- you can't join. Ask your college for an email.
Thank you!

Go through the updated GitHub Education Terms.

Currently, they are only approving students with edu-email. They have paused onboarding as per any other verification methods.
There's nothing you can do, your re-verification request will be automatically rejected.

Kindly mark the post as answered.

Hi @HCBlackFox 👋

Looking at your profile I suspect it's a translation issue. Here is a quick tip on submitting evidence:

• If your original document is not in English then we advise you to take a photo of the original next to an English translation. This also include your profile information.
• Ensure your evidence correspond to details in your GitHub profile. The verification process looks at your GitHub username, email and name ( as well as other points) to cross reference the evidence submitted. Do you use a variation of your name or a nickname?  It’s these small but important points to consider when applying that can make a much smoother process.

Let us know how you get on 👍
