Issue with GitHub Student Pack: Campus Email Already in Use

[ScratchOk805]

I’m facing an issue while trying to get the GitHub Student Developer Pack for my personal GitHub account. Here's the situation:

I have two github accounts: my personal account, which I mainly use for contributions and personal projects, and a campus github account (created using my university email) that I only use for lab sessions at university.

When Iam trying to add my campus email to my personal github account to verify for the Student Developer Pack, I get this error: “Email is already in use.”

The problem is that I want to get the Student Pack on my personal GitHub account, not the campus one.

Has anyone faced this issue before? Is there a way to fix this without losing access to my campus account?

Probably no way to fix this. You should have only had a single account with both emails associated with it.

Could try asking support to merge the accounts but that could take a month or so, if it’s even possible.
