GitHub Copilot Student Access Approved, but Benefits Currently Unavailable

[Duduenri]

Hi everyone,

I have been approved for GitHub Copilot as a student, but I am currently unable to use the benefits.

I have the same problem!

Hi @Duduenri ,

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

• Congrats! Your request for @Duduenri 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: #132790 , #131665 , #132470 , #133531, #134279, #135849

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?

Mine is verified but it still has the same problem. What do I do?

[davevad93]

Hey @drakeerv , if it says Congrats! Your request for @drakeerv was approved and your benefits are now available., that means you should have access to your benefits. Try first going to the pack offers page and select one of the available offers, if you can access them you are fine, if not I suggest you to raise a ticket here, select I am a verified student having trouble redeeming my Global Campus offers and explain your issue.

@pg56714 Thanks for replying and aiding members how to access Copilot after their benefits have been received, but aim to be more descriptive in your response and don't copy/paste it in multiple discussions if not relevant. 👍

@samus-aran I am responding to the same question repeatedly, which is why I chose to copy and paste a unified reply. Since there are only three steps, I decided to write it out directly. Thank you.
