Approved but no access

[BrewskiIceTea]

Hi everyone,

Hello all, I have been approved for github education but I do not seem to have the benefits as of now.

I heard from all my peers that they received the benefits within 3 days.

is there anything else I'm missing or once I have been approved there is nothing left to be done?

Many thanks!

Usually, once you’re fully approved, you don’t have to do much else—your benefits should automatically become available within the next days. If problems persist, GitHub Support is the best place to get a definitive resolution.

Ok, thank you!

Hi @BrewskiIceTea,

Don't worry you don't have to do anything else. When the benefits become available, the status label will turn purple and change to:

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

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.

For further reference you can look at these discussions:

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?
