Hi there, Celine from Figma here! hanks for explaining your situation, and I’m sorry for the stress this has caused. I understand how disruptive it can feel to lose access to your work!

To clarify: at this time, we are unable to verify or allow students to self-verify their Figma Education accounts if they are participating in a bootcamp or online course. In order to proceed, Coursera would have to send us a comprehensive list of all students enrolled in order to grant status.
 
We have seen some large programs decline to participate in this updated process due to the logistical challenge. In that case, we encourage students to use our free Starter teams instead, which offers you up to 3 free files, AI credits, and the ability to practice your course materials on your own.
Since your Education plan has expired, your team was automatically downgraded to a free Starter plan. While I’m not able to unlock the team or move files for you, here are a few options to regain access to your work: 

 Thanks for your understanding!
