How long does the Student Developer Pack last?
The pack is available as long as you're a student. You'll need to reverify your student status annually to maintain access. Individual partner offers may have their own duration limits.
What documents are accepted for verification?
GitHub accepts school-issued email addresses (.edu or institutional domains), student ID cards, enrollment letters, transcripts, or other official enrollment documents.
Can I use these tools for personal projects?
Yes! You can use the tools for coursework, personal projects, hackathons, and learning. Some partners may have specific terms, so check each offer.
What happens when I graduate?
When you graduate or your student status expires, you'll lose access to student benefits. However, many skills and projects you built will stay with you, and some tools offer discounted alumni rates.
Is the GitHub Student Developer Pack available worldwide?
Yes, the pack is available to students in most countries. Some individual partner offers may have geographic restrictions.
