Hi everyone 👋

I previously had access to the Figma Education Plan through the Google UX Design Certification on Coursera. I’ve now completed that program and I’m continuing to grow my portfolio while transitioning into UX design. 

When I tried to re-verify my Education plan this week, it asked me to be verified by a bootcamp admin. However, I/m not currently enrolled in any bootcamp or full-time program. 

I emailed education@figma.com twice but I haven’t received a response yet. 

Is there any alternative way of independent leaners or recent graduates to get verified? Even a short extension (6 months) would be extremely helpful for my portfolio projects and career transition. 

Would really appreciate any guidance🙏

Thank you!

Hi Anuradha! Thanks for reaching out to the Figma Forum.I’ve checked internally with the Figma Education team, and unfortunately we do not have extensions available.
As a reminder, to qualify for Figma for Education, you must be a current student or educator in a classroom applying with their school email.

For more information, you can check out guide: Figma for Education.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi there — If your bootcamp has ended but you still meet the student criteria, you can reach out to the Figma Education Support team with your current proof of eligibility (e.g., student ID, transcript). Explain your situation clearly—often they’ll manually re-verify your account.
