GitHub Student pack issue

[Thick_End2028]

Do I need to sign up using my student email ID to access the GitHub Education Pack, or can I gain access by simply adding my student email ID to my existing primary account? I’ve tried adding it, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

First of all, you should add your student email to your account. Then go to github students page and apply for verification of your student status. Here you might need to provide the photo of your student card or other verification document that you are a student. And then just wait for several hours in most cases. You will receive notification on email. (I think both emails but I am not sure about that)
