Hi,
I applied for Figma for Education for our school using our official school email/domain.

The application has already been submitted, but I have not received approval yet. I wanted to ask:

  1. How long does verification usually take for a school?
  2. Is manual review required for school domains?
  3. If the domain is not automatically recognized, what should I do next?

Our school is in Nepal, and we applied using the official school domain email.

I would appreciate any guidance from others who have gone through the same process.

Thanks.

Hey ​@School Admin, thanks for reaching out!

Since you applied using your school's official domain rather than an individual account, it sounds like you used the application for schools wanting to use Figma with their students and that's the right path.

On your specific questions:

  1. How long does verification usually take? There isn't a fixed timeframe I can promise. A school-wide request like yours goes to our Education team for manual review, so turnaround can vary.
  2. Is manual review required for school domains? Yes, for this type of request, a person on our Education team reviews it to confirm your school qualifies before your domain gets approved. It's not an automatic check.
  3. If the domain isn't automatically recognized, what should I do next? Since review here is manual from the start, there isn't a separate "recognition" step to watch for. If your application is ultimately rejected or more info is needed, you (or another admin at your school) can submit the K-12 Domain Requests form for another look.

You can find the full process in our Figma for Education guide. 

Since I can't check the status of a specific application here on the forum for privacy reasons, if you'd like someone to take a direct look at where things stand, feel free to submit a request through our Support Hub with the domain you applied with. 

 

Hope that helps clear things up!
