Hey @Rebeca4,

Thanks for reaching out to the community!

As a reminder, our policy has always been that student status is only valid for 2 years, and then after the 2 years if you are still a student/educator, you can re-apply.

For more information, you can check out our Help Center article here: Verify education status.

I can check on our backend that your student status was approved on July 4th 2022 so it will expire on July 4th 2024. You can re-apply here if you’re still a student via this link: https://www.figma.com/education/apply Hope this clarifies!

I just got the same email too that my education plan will expire in 4 weeks, was there any change in policy or settings.

Hey @Olumide,

No - we have not changed the education verification timeline. What is the name of the team that is expiring? And do you recall the date you 1st verified it for EDU?

I was verified on the 7th of July, 2024

Thanks for confirming, @Olumide!

I consulted with our EDU team, and it sounds like your education verification was for a bootcamp, which is why it was only for a 6 month period.

If you are still a student and/or taking another bootcamp, you can re-apply here: https://www.figma.com/education/apply

Hello, I received an email today that my Figma education plan will expire in 4 weeks. I was verified for Figma education on 27/01/2025 and I will graduate on June 2026. Please extend my Figma education plan, thank you.

Hi! I verified my Teacher status after 3 years of using Educational plan (as advised in the email), but I received an email to create a new Education team. Can I renew the current team’s Education plan without creating a new one and moving everyone?
My students have final year presentation in 2 weeks and I wanted to make sure everything will work without moving anything to new space.
 

Hi ​@mateusz n, thanks for reaching out! 

You should be able to upgrade your existing Education team that was previously verified, and I completely understand why you would prefer this with your students’ final presentations coming up.

If you don’t see a way to do this in the email you recently received, please reach out to the Education team directly at education@figma.com for help. 

Hi ​@AZK2025,

It looks like you never got a reply, so I just wanted to make sure to close the loop here. From what I can see on the backend, you were indeed verified as a student on 27/01/2025. I’m not sure why you received that email that stated your verification ended in four weeks, but please note that you are verified as as student until 27/01/2027.

Hope this helps give you peace of mind! If you have any further questions, in the future, feel free to reach out to the Education team directly at education@figma.com. 

Hi ​@djv, I just register the education plan recently, could you please check my education expiration date?

Hey ​@Ngoc Ho , I am working closely with Denise, happy to help!

After checking internally, you were verified as a student on 10 June 2025, so you are verified as as student until 10/06/2027. Hope this clarifies!

Tks you so much

Hello all,

So sorry to activate this thread again. I figured it was better replying here than starting a duplicate thread.

I tried doing some research and I see from Figma’s support page on student status that universities and such have verification for two years. Bootcamps have 6 months. I’ve been taking Google’s UX Design course through Coursera since January 2024, which I assume would fall into the bootcamp category? I had to verify my student status twice now, if I recall correctly.

I got an email stating my plan is expiring first week of July, which is odd to me. I contacted support and they don’t seem to be helping me, and I don't know what else to do. An extra $20/month for Figma on top of Courser’s $50/month is an expense I don’t want to take on. Any advice?

Hey ​@Mario Tantillo , thanks for reaching out to the community, and happy to help! I’ve escalated your case to our support team, as it requires further investigation. For your reference, your suppor ticket is #1394391.

Just to give you some visibility, they’re currently looking into it internally and will follow up with you directly as soon as there’s an update.

Please continue the conversation through your support ticket, as they’re best equipped to help with account-related issues. Thanks again for your patience!

Hi ​@djv, could you please check my education expiration date? Figma sent me an email saying that my access to the student plan would end in 4 weeks. I haven't finished my studies yet 

Hey ​@djv, I would also be interesting in knowing the expiration date of my education plan. Thank you.

Hi ​@Ccrb, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delayed reply! 

From what I can see on the backend, you were verified as a student on 22/08/2023, and you will remain verified as as student until 22/08/2025.

Hi ​@Joshua Banfield, thanks for reaching out! 

You are verified on your education plan until October 3rd, 2025. 

Hi, 

I also received a e-mail regarding the four weeks left, but where can I reapply? The e-mail states the following: 

If you’re still in education: Verify your status to keep collaborating with your team(s). 

When I follow the link it states: You’re in! You are now verified with Figma for Education. But I did not reapply or enter new information. This is all very confusing… 

Hi ​@Timsalabim, thanks for reaching out and apologies for the confusion! 

I took a look at your account on the backend, and you are verified for your education plan through September 8th, 2025. For help with reverifying your Education status, please reach out to our Education team directly via email at education@figma.com. 

hi ​@djv thank you for the quick response. Do I have to send something like a proof of enrollment? 

In any case I will reach out to the EDU team.

You’re welcome, ​@Timsalabim!

Yes, they will likely as for a copy of your course schedule, confirmation, or syllabus.

More information on verifying your Education status is available here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041061214-Verify-education-status

Hi ​@djv, could you check if it came through? I reapplied and within seconds it says it done. 

Many thanks!

Hi ​@Timsalabim, thanks for following up! 

Yes, it looks like you’re all set. You’re verified for you Education plan through August 12, 2026.

​@djv that is good to hear! Thank you so much for your help!
