I have obtained student certification, how should I use GitHub Copilot Pro

Hi @Taki-Ta,

Once approved, 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.

Hey there! 👋

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @Taki-Ta! We're happy you're here. In general, you are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category. The Accessibility category is a place for our community to discuss and provide feedback on the digital accessibility of GitHub products. Digital accessibility means that GitHub tools, and technologies, are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them.

I've gone ahead and moved this to the correct category for you. Good luck!

Hi there! 👋

If you've recently obtained your student certification, you actually get free access to GitHub Copilot Student as part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack. It gives you all the core inline completions and chat features without needing a paid Pro subscription.

Here is a quick checklist to get it running:

1. Verify your status: Go to your GitHub Settings > Billing and plans > Plans and usage and make sure the GitHub Education pack is active (it can take up to 72 hours after verification to fully activate).
2. Install extensions: Open your IDE (like VS Code) and install both the GitHub Copilot and GitHub Copilot Chat extensions.
3. Sign in: Restart your IDE and follow the prompt in the bottom right corner to sign in with your verified GitHub student account.
