How long does it take to get access to the GitHub Student Developer Pack? #180773
-
Select Topic AreaQuestion GitHub Feature AreaActions BodyHi everyone, I wanted to ask: After how much time does GitHub usually approve the Student Developer Pack? Is the approval instant, or does it take a few days? Do I need to upload any additional documents to speed up the process? Has anyone experienced delays, and how long did it take for you? I’m mainly asking because I need access to some tools available only with GitHub Education benefits. Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks. |

The approval time for the GitHub Student Developer Pack is usually not instant. ⏳ Up to 72 hours (3 days) Most students receive access within this time window. 📌 Sometimes it may extend to 5–7 days This happens only when GitHub needs to manually verify your documents or when there is a high number of applications. ✔️ Key points: Using a valid college email speeds up approval. If you used a student ID / admission letter, the review may take slightly longer. You don’t need to re-apply unless GitHub requests more proof. You’ll get an email notification once your application is reviewed. So generally, 72 hours is the expected timeline, but small delays are normal. |
