Fiz a solicitação para o Student Developer Pack e fui aprovado, mas os benefícios ainda não foram liberados 😬. Demora muito para serem liberados? |

Ninguém conseguiu @C4rolanne, basicamente eles liberaram bugado e até quem não era estudante estava conseguindo fazer gratuitamente. Desativaram para corrigir e a previsão é até o final de outubro. |

i received an email: "Regarding the student discount, it has been temporarily paused due to a technical bug that we are currently working to resolve. However, if you're still interested, the GitHub Foundations exam is currently available at a 50% discount." So i think we have to wait, so the bug can be fixed. Thats all |

Nope, but to avail github education, you must be atleast 13. so you can take that as a minimum age requirement if you're planning to apply through github education. To learn more visit official github education site: |

At first I faced the $49 discount problem. Now after passing the foundations exam, it's been more than 3 days but I haven't got any mail regarding this. I didn't receive my Credly badge. I opened discussion and ticket. Still no response from community and GitHub support 🙂. |

I took the exam and I ended up getting this error after trying to move onto section 3. This is very frustrating, I don't really know what to do about it either, technical support has been no help and the exam time is ticking down. |

@nadir I also wrote to support. They said I should write to Github support because they can't do anything. But by the time Github support responds, my remaining time is up |

If your timer is working, I think your safe, just don't do my mistake and exit the secure browser. Because in my case, the timer froze hahahaha |

I am not able to get the total $99 discount. Instead, a 50% discount is being applied. |

@prabal221b Try logging out and logging back in with a cleared cache. It may be trying to attach an old discount to your account instead of the current one. |

For some and as many others have mentionned, we're only getting a $49 discount. Looking forward to passing this test |

Hi @xOryus - The certification registration system may be trying to give you the old discount. Try logging out, clearing your cache and going to a new browser to log in and register. It's worked for others who were previously seeing the $49 fee still popping up. If that doesn't work the Certifications team should be able to reset or reauthenticate your account if you open a support ticket. |
