My educator account expired in September.  I have filled out the form 4 times in an attempt to get it reinstated.  I have also contacted support prior to this.  It has not yet been resolved.  How do I go about getting access to my account again?  If I am filling out the form incorrectly, could you advise me of the issue so that I may correct it?

Hi ​@Selena Gilcrease ,

 

I understand you’re having trouble getting verified your account for Figma for Education.

 

I checked on our end and can see that you were previously verified as a K–12 educator. To confirm, are you trying to re-verify as a K–12 educator for individual use?

If so, please make sure you’re following these steps exactly:

  1. Log in to Figma using the school-issued email address you want to verify (non-school emails will be automatically rejected).
  2. Visit the Education status application page: https://www.figma.com/education/apply
  3. Select High school as the type of institution.
  4. Agree to the terms of service.
  5. Select Educator (or Student / Administrator, if applicable).
  6. Complete the remaining questions and click Submit.

You can also review the Application process section in the Figma for Education guide for more details.

 

I also checked your previous support ticket(#1577784), and our education team doesn’t see any past verification attempts coming from your school email address.

Please double-check that you’re logged in with the correct school email and try submitting the application again using the steps above.

If you’re still having trouble after logging in with your school email and would like our education team to review your high school domain, please complete the High School domain review form.

 

While we want to help, we’re not able to assist with the verification process directly here in the forum, and Figma isn’t able to review documents manually. All education verifications are handled by SheerID.

If you continue to run into issues with your application, please contact SheerID directly for troubleshooting: Contact SheerID support team

 

Thanks,


Selena Gilcrease

I am an elementary teacher, not high school and I am using my school email address.  It is the same email address I have been using for a year with Figma.  @ebrschools.org is our domain name.  I work for East Baton Rouge Parish in Baton Rouge, LA and I have not attempted to use any other email address.

Thanks for following up, and for confirming that you’re using your school-issued email address.

 

For clarification, the application process for K-12 educators is outlined in the  “K-12” of “2. Verify your education status” section of the Figma for Education guide.
It states:

K-12 educators for individual use: Apply directly at figma.com/education/apply with your school-issued email address. Select High school for institution type.

 

I understand your confusion here, but could you please try the verification process again by following the steps in the guide above?

If you’re still unable to complete the verification after following this process, please consider submitting the School Domain Requests form mentioned earlier so our team can review your school domain.
