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: |

@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. |

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. |

Due to bugs, I won't be giving the exam until this issue is resolved. However, once I give, I see the certificate would only be valid for 3 years. After that, do I have to pay to give the exam again to extend the validity |

@VaibhavKatariya Try opening a incognito Chrome window, logging into GitHub there and going through the flow. If you're still seeing the $49, you may have to submit a ticket for the Certifications team to reset your access depending on the situation. |

Thank you for the suggestion! I tried using an incognito Chrome window to log into GitHub and go through the registration flow, but unfortunately, I am still encountering the same issue. The error message persists, stating that an open registration record already exists for me. Could you please guide me on how to submit a ticket for the Certifications team to reset my access? I’d appreciate any additional steps or links to resolve this. Thank you for your help! |

Go to: https://support.github.com/contact to create a ticket. If you have a screenshot of the error you're seeing, it will help the team determine if it's coming from our system or PSI (the exam proctor) system. |
