GitHub Copilot not activating with Student Developer Pack

[Alejo101102]

Hi everyone,

I'm a student and I currently have the GitHub Student Developer Pack active, as shown in my account settings. However, I’m unable to activate GitHub Copilot Individual. My account still shows "Copilot Free", with limited code completions and chat messages.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

• Verified that my student coupon is active under billing settings.

• Visited https://education.github.com/pack, but the Copilot card is not visible.

• Cleared cache, tried incognito mode, and logged in/out multiple times.

• Also made sure there are no ad/script blockers enabled.

According to GitHub documentation, Copilot Individual should be included for free for 1 year with the Student Pack. I’d appreciate it if someone could help me activate the benefit or clarify the issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Alejo101102,

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.

Thank you so much, it worked! I now have Copilot Pro set up.

Thank you so much, it worked! I now have Copilot Pro set up.
But doesn't that sign up link ask you to start your free trial of 30 days and add card? I am also approved but can't redeem it even after 3 days

Thanks a lot bro, it really worked and I've got GitHub Copilot Pro access.

Hi @Alejo101102 👋

If your Student Developer Pack is active but Copilot still shows as "Free", follow these steps:
->Go to this link to activate Copilot Education:
https://github.com/features/copilot?ref=edu-pack
(Make sure you're logged in with your student-verified GitHub account.)
->Visit your billing settings — under "Copilot for Individuals" it should show $0.00 / Education benefit.
->If it still doesn’t work:
Disable Copilot from settings, then re-enable it.
Try incognito or another browser.
->If the Copilot card doesn’t appear or still says "Free", contact GitHub support directly:
https://support.github.com/contact
Mention your GitHub username, student status, and issue.

Hope this helps you get full Copilot access!

Although I already tried what you suggested and it didn’t work for me, thank you very much!
