Assistance Request: Academic Benefits Not Yet Received

[thegmitrzuk]

Hi everyone,

I recently received an approval notification for my GitHub Education benefits on October 6, 2024. However, I haven't received access to the benefits yet, even though the approval notice mentioned they would be available soon. I understand that benefits are usually provided within 3 to 5 days after approval, but it's now past that time frame.

Could you please help me check the status of my benefits, or let me know if there are any further steps I need to take to complete this process?

Hi @thegmitrzuk ,

The waiting time may vary depending on different factors, such as the volume of requests; it usually takes a few days, but sometimes it can take a little longer, even a couple of weeks.

When the benefits become available, the status label will turn purple and change to:

• Congrats! Your request for @thegmitrzuk was approved and your benefits are now available.

For further reference you can look at these discussions: #132790 , #131665 , #132470 , #133531, #134279, #135849, #136887, #138721, #139268

And also the Student Developer Pack Application FAQs :

• How long after I submit my application will it be approved?
• How long after I’ve been approved will I receive my academic benefits?
