Hello Figma Community,
I’m currently taking the Google UX Design Certificate on Coursera and have been using Figma Education Pro through this program.
Recently, I received an email asking me to re-verify my student status. I selected “Bootcamp / Online Program”, but then got this 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 platform and not a traditional bootcamp, there isn’t an admin who can verify my status. Coursera support advised me to self-verify, but Figma doesn’t seem to allow that for online program students.
I’d love some clarity on this situation:
-
How can online course students (like those on Coursera) keep access to Education Pro?
-
If verification isn’t possible, will our accounts automatically downgrade to Starter after Sept 29?
-
Is there any workaround to continue using unlimited files and full Figma Pro features as part of the course?
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
