Hey everyone,

I’m currently on the Figma Education (Educator/Student) plan, and my account is already verified.

I want to change the email address on this same Figma account (from an edu email to a personal Gmail).

My concern is:

  • Will changing the email revoke my education status?
  • Has anyone successfully changed their email without losing the edu plan?
  • If it does get revoked, did Figma support help re-verify or transfer the status?

I’ve seen mixed answers online, and I don’t want to risk losing access accidentally 😅
Any real experiences or advice would be super helpful.
 

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@Shahreyar, 

 

I understand your concern about whether updating your Figma account email from your .edu address to your personal Gmail will affect your Education status.

 

Your Education status is tied to the email address you originally verified with.
Unfortunately, if you update your account email after verification, your Education status will be revoked.

 

Once the status is revoked, you might need to reapply.

However, to qualify for Figma for Education, you must be a current student or educator, and you need to apply using your school email address.

 

For more details, please check: Figma for Education

If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to our Education team at education@figma.com.

 

Thanks,
