Hi, I just applied for the Figma K-12 Education plan. I used my school email and submitted all the details. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get the verification email for K-12 accounts? Any experience would be helpful!

Hi ​@Daniel2020, 

 

I understand that you’re waiting for your K–12 education status to be verified.

There are two different application paths for K–12, so could you let us know which one you submitted?

  • K–12 educators for individual use:
    • Apply directly at https://www.figma.com/education/apply
    •  using your school-issued email address, and select High school as the institution type.
  • For use with K–12 students:
    • Submit an application at https://www.figma.com/education/k-12

You can find more details about the application process here:
Figma for Education – Application process

 

If you applied at figma.com/education/apply while logged in with your school-issued email address and selected High school, we recommend waiting 2–3 business days to hear back, as education verifications are handled by SheerID and they may be experiencing a high volume of requests. If that amount of time has already passed, we generally recommend contacting SheerID support directly for an update.

 

If you’re still have some issue to get verified, please let us know:

  • Which application form you used, and
  • If you applied at figma.com/education/apply and contacted SheerID, could you let us know what response you received from them?

 

Thanks!
