Cannot Verify My Student Account

I would like to inquire about my eligibility for the Figma Education Plan. I am currently enrolled as a student in a university and are currently logged in to Figma with my university account email. I am also ready to provide more information if needed.

 

I tried signing up using the SheerID verification, but it keeps getting rejected with no clear reason why. I have also contacted their support team about this, and their reply is just this message with no further instructions:

 

"We were unable to process your verification request. While we can't offer further details or support for this specific inquiry, please ensure all information submitted is accurate and meets the eligibility criteria for future attempts. Your ticket has now been permanently closed."

 

Moreover, after the above email, I am no longer able to submit another application. Their system just shows the message:

 

"Verification Limit Exceeded".

"We're glad you're enthusiastic, but it looks like you've already redeemed or attempted to redeem this offer."

 

I tried e-mailing them again and they replied with the exact same message as before. I can also confirm that I have not received my Figma Edu access. I have also tried sending them another request before I created this thread. Is there anything more I can do to verify my access to Figma Edu?

Hi ​@Octavio Putra

 

I understand you’re having an issue with student verification and are seeing the message: “Verification Limit Exceeded.”

I’ve escalated this internally to our Education team and will update you once I hear back.

 

Unfortunately, we’re unable to review SheerID documents or update education status directly.

For future reference, if you’ve contacted SheerID and your verification was rejected without a clear explanation, please email education@figma.com and include a copy of SheerID’s response so our team can review it.

 

Thanks,

The student verification loop is frustrating – I hit the same thing last week.

What finally worked: clear browser cache/cookies, switch to incognito, then go directly to education.figma.com/verify and re-enter your school email. It skipped the endless redirect and processed in under a minute.

If that still fails, try a different browser entirely or upload your student ID manually via the "Contact support" link at the bottom of the verification page. Support usually responds within 24 hours with a manual approval. Hang in there, it's usually just a glitch on their end. Let me know if it goes through.

Hi ​@Octavio Putra,


I checked with our Education team and they reviewed your account. Could you please email education@figma.com? They’ll get back to you with next steps.

 

Thanks!

Thank you very much ​@Junko3 for the support. I have also tried the method ​@IanHuber suggested but it still did not work for me. 


I have previously sent an email to education@figma.com prior to making this post. However, they said that they cannot help me with SheerID verification so I will be sending another email with more details attached as per your instructions.

Thank you for reviewing my case and I look forward to further support and instructions!

Hi ​@Octavio Putra,

 

Thanks for following up!


I can see your support ticket (#1773216) with additional information. While the Education team typically responds within 5–7 business days, I’ve escalated your case internally so it can be prioritized. Someone from the team should be in touch with you soon!

Just so you know, as the Education team mentioned, Figma cannot review SheerID documents or confirm individual user eligibility directly.

I’ll close this forum thread for now; please continue the conversation in your ticket.

 

Thank you for your patience!
