The activation process for the GitHub Student Developer Pack usually takes up to 72 hours. However, it may take longer during peak times
If you wish, you can open a ticket with GitHub Education, and they will help resolve your issue.

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @Ashpro0minecraft!

We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category, the Discussions category is solely related to conversations around the GitHub product Discussions. This question should be in the GitHub Education category. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

Hi @Ashpro0minecraft,

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.

You'll get a PRO badge on your profile once benefits become available:

Once available, you can claim your Copilot PRO offer on this signup link.

To redeem others benefits, go to the pack offers page, scroll down to the "All offers" section and select any offer that suits you.

In case you encounter a problem claiming any offer, I recommend you raise a ticket here, select "I am a verified student having trouble redeeming my Global Campus offers" and explain your issue.

If your GitHub Student Developer Pack hasn’t activated even after 72 hours of approval, don’t worry — this can occasionally happen due to processing delays on GitHub’s Education servers.

🔍 Here’s what you can do:

Confirm your verification status:

Go to https://education.github.com/discount_requests

Check if your status shows “Approved” or “Verified”.

Wait a bit longer:

Although activation usually completes within 72 hours, it can sometimes take up to a week during high traffic or verification backlogs.

Check your benefits:

Once active, you’ll see a PRO badge on your GitHub profile.

Visit https://education.github.com/pack
→ scroll to All Offers → claim benefits like GitHub Copilot Pro, Namecheap, Educative, etc.

If it’s been more than a week:

Contact GitHub Education Support directly:
👉 https://support.github.com/contact/education

Choose: “I am a verified student having trouble redeeming my Global Campus offers.”

Include your GitHub username, screenshots of approval, and mention that it’s been over 72 hours.

✅ Summary:
Delays past 72 hours aren’t uncommon. Just verify your approval, wait a bit longer, and if it still doesn’t activate, submit a ticket through the link above — the Education team will manually fix it for you.
