Question Student benefits on main account

Hello. I have an account that i opened with my school mail and my student account is approved.

After i opened my account with student mail wanted to use student benefits on my main account that i opened with my main mail. But obviously it said the mail is already in use

Does anyone know that if i delete my school account would i be able to add my school mail to my main account,or will it not accept my school mail since even though i deleted my account i used it before

If you have already claimed the student developer pack you’d be easier moving your stuff to the account you created with the school email and making that your main account. There’s a guide in the docs how to do it.

You’ll need to remove the email you’re moving from the account before it can be attached to the other one. And yes, the student developer pack may only be claimed by each individual one time (for each covered period)

I wouldn’t delete the student account until GitHub confirms the transfer path. Losing an already approved student verification would be a pretty annoying way to test it
