I verified student status but still in starter plan, and cannot edit my class project. 

 

Hi ​@Leo Le — welcome to Figma Forum, and thanks for bringing this up.

I checked on this, and saw that another designer mentioned running into a similar notification in a different thread. You might find the reply from Celine helpful: To edit this Education team file from verify that you're a student or educator.

For the most up-to-date details on Figma Education verification and how to proceed, take a look here: Updates to our Figma Education plan → Higher Education users.

Hope this helps point you in the right direction — and if you’re still running into trouble, please don’t hesitate to reach back out here.


I already verified, and it said I already redeem the education status, but my account hasn’t updated and I cannot edit my class’s files
