# I'm unable to link my GitHub account

Students can use Termius for free through the [GitHub Student Developer Pack](https://termius.com/education).

### GitHub Student Developer Pack Activation

Termius uses GitHub’s verification system to grant student access. If you have been approved by GitHub but still cannot access your benefits, please keep the following in mind:

* **Status requirement:** GitHub uses two states for student accounts: **Approved** and **Activated**. Termius benefits apply only after your status changes to **Activated**.
* **Sync delay:** There may be a delay between systems. It can take up to a few days for GitHub to send the updated status to Termius.

#### Troubleshooting Steps

1. Sign in to your [GitHub Student Developer Pack](https://education.github.com/pack) dashboard and confirm that your status is **Activated**.
2. If your status changed recently, wait up to 72 hours before trying to link your account with Termius again.
