Verification Help & Guidance

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone!

Our school doesn't offer a email so I used my official school ID to apply, however after 3 attempts I still got rejected even when that is the biggest proof

If your school does not issue academic email addresses, a school ID by itself may still be rejected when it does not show a current enrollment date.

GitHub's current guidance is to reapply with both:

1. Clear proof of current student status — for example, an ID with the current enrollment date, a class schedule, transcript, or enrollment-verification letter.
2. Official evidence that the institution does not provide student email addresses — for example, a page on the school's website or a letter on school letterhead explaining that policy.

Make sure your name, institution, and at least one current date are readable in the photo. If the form still requires an academic address after you provide that evidence, contact GitHub Education Support and include the school's full name and website.

Official guidance: Apply to GitHub Education as a student and Solving problems with GitHub Education access.

But our IDs only show the particular year 2025-2026, I mean I have my result sheet, would that work?
