The detail that likely explains all four rejections: enrollment papers dated last academic year. The automated check needs the document to prove current enrollment, and over summer break, papers issued during the previous term read as expired evidence — this is exactly the season when applications from students without IDs/emails fail in bulk. "I heard it may be a problem" — it genuinely is, and none of the other fixes (2FA, billing, photo quality) can compensate for a stale date on the document. Realistic options:
If a current-term document gets rejected again in September, that's when it's worth escalating to https://support.github.com/contact/education with the application ID. |

Hi everyone,
I tried to apply for github student developer pack many times (3 times in july and 1 two days ago) I have been auto rejected every single time.
I have enabled 2FA, filled my billing information, fix any other issue with photo quality etc. yet I get rejected.
My school did not provide me with a student id card or a student email. I have applied with a copy of my enrollement papers until now.
Also as its summer break I dont have any access to my school or can go there (I heard it may be about the application has to be near the school grounds)
I have posted a discussion in this category before about this and I didn't get any replies.
If any one could help me with the process or review the application I would really appriciate it a lot.
