Hello, I verified my Figma account to my school email address account. However, I prefer to put it on my personal email account (but verified with my school email). Can I transfer plans to my personal account?

Hi ​@potato — Celyn from Figma Community Support here. Thanks for reaching out!

Education status can’t be transferred between separate accounts, as it’s tied to the specific account that was originally verified with your school email address.

A couple of important things to keep in mind:

  • Education status is linked to the email address used during verification.

  • If you update the email on that account after verification, the Education status will be revoked.

  • Education plans can’t be moved from a school-email account to a separate personal-email account.

At the moment, the Education plan will need to remain on the verified school-email account. Let me know if you have any other questions — happy to help clarify.

Is this law still in effect?

Hey ​@h_mortazavifar, thanks for reaching out! 

Yes, this is still accurate. Education status stays tied to the specific account and email it was originally verified with, so moving it to a different account (personal or otherwise) still isn't something we're able to do.

A couple of things that might help, depending on what you're trying to do:

  • If your goal is really to consolidate files rather than move the Education status itself, our Transfer a folder or team to a different account article walks through the options. Which one fits depends on the plans involved on each end.
  • If you think your Education status may have landed on the wrong account by mistake during verification, that's a slightly different situation. Let me know and I can point you in the right direction.

For the full rundown on eligibility and verification, our Figma for Education article covers it in detail.

 

Hope this helps!
