I am currently experiencing issues while trying to activate GitHub Copilot with my GitHub Student account. Despite being part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack, I am unable to access the free version of Copilot.

Here is a summary of my situation:

• Account Type: Verified GitHub Student Account.
• Issue: Unable to enable GitHub Copilot.
• Current Status: My subscription is identified as Copilot Pro, which is conflicting with my ability to switch to the GitHub Copilot available through the Student Pack.

Steps Taken:

• Verified my student status on GitHub.
• Attempted to configure Copilot settings via GitHub and Visual Studio Code.
• Checked my GitHub billing and subscription settings.

Is there a specific process to ensure that GitHub Copilot is correctly activated for student accounts? Any guidance or steps to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!
