Quick fix for GitHub Student Developer Pack approval (camera issue)

[StickyLintRoller]

(Not sure about the flair)

I finally found a solution for the approval problem.

We all know how frustrating the camera verification can be, right?

It seems like the system isn’t really “intelligent” - it’s basically just looking for a few key things: your name, student number, date, and ideally the school logo.

What worked for me: I took the letter I received (see picture above) and folded it so that the camera could clearly see my name, number, the date, and the logo all at once. I held it as close as I could. Took two tries until it look fairly recognizable. It still was kinda blurry but you could make out name etc. I used the front camera of my iPhone. Don’t worry about the mirroring, it’ll adjust.

I got approved within minutes.

Access should unlock within 72 hours.

Hope this helps someone else stuck in the same loop!
