Hello Figma Community,

I’m currently enrolled in the Google UX Design course on Coursera and have been using Figma Education Pro through this program.

I received an email asking me to re-verify my student status, so I selected “Bootcamp / Online Program”, but I got the message:

“Bootcamp students & educators: You cannot self-verify, you must be verified by your bootcamp. Please reach out to them directly with any questions.”

Since Coursera is an online program, not a traditional bootcamp, I don’t have an admin to verify me. Coursera support says I should self-verify, but Figma doesn’t allow it for online students.

I want to know:

  1. How can online course students like me maintain Education Pro access?

  2. Will our accounts automatically downgrade to Starter after Sept 29 if no verification is possible?

  3. Are there any workarounds for students using Coursera to continue using unlimited files and full Figma Pro features?

Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Same issue. The Coursera don’t have admins to verify :(

Hi everyone - first, I can confirm that if you do not re-verify your education status by September 29, 2025, your Education team will be downgraded to the free Starter plan, where you'll lose access to Professional plan features.


If you have additional questions about your specific program, I’d recommend reaching out directly to Coursera support, as they’ll be best positioned to help!

Coursera support said to self-verify Figma or to reach out to Figma support 😅 There is no admins in the course that can verify all the users… So we kind of stuck in the middle of the learning.
