Hello guys,

 

I’m trying to activate the Figma Education plan but I’m stuck:

 

  • Attempting to verify shows “Verification Limit Exceeded.”

  • I reached out to SheerID, and they responded they were unable to process my request and that the ticket is permanently closed. So I can’t retry from their side. 

  • I also tried to email Figma education team but still got no response at this point.

 

Thank you so much  

 

Hi, 

I had the same problems for more than 2 weeks and nothing was solved

And currently I cannot even process to the form. This one pop up when I entered the program and year of graduate. 

I tried to contact both education team, figma support team and SheerID to try to verify but did not really get any help 

Please check and tell me anything I need to do to verify my education account 

Thank you

Hey ​@Kevin Mai — I’m sorry to hear you’re still running into trouble with this.

I’ve merged your post into this thread so the conversation stays in one place, and I’ve let the Figma for Education team know you’ve reached out. Your case is still open with them, and they’ll provide more details as soon as they have updates. Your case number is: 1520653.

Also, there’s a grace period currently in place during the verification process, so your access won’t be interrupted while this gets resolved. For more details, you can check out this announcement: Updates to our Figma Education plan.

Thanks for your patience while the team continues working on this

Bonjour, 

@Tom Reem j’ai exactement le même problème que ​@Kevin Mai .

Pourriez vous m’aider ? Cela m’aiderai grandement pour les travaux que j’ai à rendre pour mon école.
Merc beaucoup et bonne journée.


Hello ​@Joris Pesnel — welcome to the Figma Forum! I’m sorry to hear you’ve run into the same problem. While we don’t currently provide support in French here, I hope it’s okay that I’m replying in English.

Since the original post, there have been a few improvements that should help get this sorted out. Please try the following steps and let us know if you’re still having any difficulty:

  1. If you’re seeing a “Verification Limit Exceeded” message, submit an appeal directly to SheerID with additional documentation. Their team will review your submission and confirm if it can be approved.
  2. If you’ve already sent extra documents and SheerID said they couldn’t process them, reply to their message and CC education@figma.com so the Figma Education team can assist.

Hope this helps move things forward!
