Hi ​@Leah Sugar, thanks for reaching out! 

Our Figma Education team is unable to verify or allow students to self-verify their Figma Education accounts if you are participating from Coursera.

In order to proceed, we asked Coursera to send over a comprehensive list of all students enrolled with them in order to grant the Education status. Because of this, we have seen larger programs decline to participate in this updated process due to the logistical challenge. In this case, we encourage you to use our free Starter team instead, which offers you up to 3 free files, AI credits, and the ability to practice your course materials on your own.
 
Here are a few resources to assist with the transition:
