Dear Figma Team,
 

I am writing to formally request verification for my Figma education account. I am currently a student enrolled in the Visual Design + Branding Bootcamp at SuperHi, a verified educational institution.

The SuperHi team has already sent an email to your support team on my behalf to confirm my enrollment and academic standing. This report is provided as a follow-up to that communication. And, how long will it take to verify an education account?

Please let me know if any additional information or documentation is required to complete the verification process. Thank you for your time and assistance.
 

Sincerely,

Jardo

Hi ​@Jardo_de_la_Pena - thank you for checking in with us on the forum. 

Apologies, but I wanted to check: you mentioned SuperHi as a verified educational institution, but also mentioned you’re enrolled in a bootcamp at that institution. In this case, I don’t think SuperHi itself is considered a qualifying higher educational institution by our guidelines.

However: if you are participating in a bootcamp specifically through SuperHi, there’s a different pathway you need to take to apply and receive verification.

-----

First, have your bootcamp admins applied to be a trusted partner in our bootcamp offering? If not, they should first fill out this form. Please have them review and make sure they meet the criteria.

Note: bootcamp review may take 2-4 weeks depending on volume. For any additional questions, please have your admins reach out to bootcamps@figma.com. 

 

Once they apply and have been accepted as a trusted partner, there’s nothing else you will need to do. Your bootcamp admin will be able to help you from there. See here under the bootcamp verification instructions: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041061214-Figma-for-Education#verifyedu

Hope this helps clarify.

Hi, 

Thanks for your response. I have already reached out to SuperHi and they already applied since 2018. They are communicating with Figma and hoping they'll have it sorted for us by the end of the week before our education accounts expire. 


Great!! Glad that there’s already some communication going on. When the time comes, your boot camp admin will be able to assist you with your verification.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to open up a new topic 😃
