Hello @Wesamalmsrwry,

According to the official GitHub documentation on How to enable Copilot Pro for GitHub Education verified students/teachers?, you should receive an email when your academic benefits are ready to be redeemed. Once your benefits are applied, you'll be eligible for Copilot Pro access.

You can also check out your Education Benefits status Here

The documentation also mentions that most benefits are granted within 3 days, although this timeline may be longer during certain periods. It's possible that this is one of those times, so I recommend being patient while waiting for your benefits.

I'm confident that you'll receive your benefits just like everyone else. I understand it’s frustrating to wait this long, though. If you still haven’t received them within the next two days, I recommend starting another discussion to follow up.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Wesamalmsrwry ,

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

• Congrats! Your request for @Wesamalmsrwry 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.
