When I created my educational plan with my school it was created ultil 2026 but today I have received an email informing that my education plan will expired in 4 weeks. Did you change the politics?

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.
