Best figma,

I am having trouble getting into my student account, I am a higher education student from ROC Nijmegen. I provided all 3 documents but I still can’t get in. Could you please verify my account.

Hey ​@Dagmarroc — welcome to Figma Forum. Thanks for explaining what’s been happening, and I can see why this has been frustrating. There are a couple things worth checking here.

  1. To start: Since you’re a higher-education student and you’ve already submitted the required documents, the verification itself is handled end-to-end by SheerID. If your status still hasn’t updated, reaching out to them directly is the best way to understand where things might be getting held up: Contact SheerID support team.
  2. If SheerID has already approved your verification: There’s sometimes an additional action needed on the Figma side to apply the Education plan correctly. In that case, please follow the guidance here to ensure it’s fully applied to your account or team: Figma for Education → Create, upgrade, or join a team → To upgrade an existing team.

Once you’ve had a chance to review those: Feel free to reply here and let me know where things stall or what message you’re seeing, and I’m happy to help clarify what to do next.
