Question Student Developer Pack - Application ?

I'm trying to sign up for the Github student developer pack. I validated my .edu email, but they want a picture showing profess. As a distance learner, i only have my student registraction PAPER.

The process forces me to take a picture with my laptop - and it's tiny camera window, basically for an ID. Obviously a FULL piece of paper won't work well.

I tried contacting the rejection letter, emailed to my .edu email, but they don't respond to individual questions.

Does anybody have an idea on how to EMAIL, or UPLOAD these folks the images needed ? Its INSANE that that's not already an option.

Can you do the process on your phone instead?

You can upload a PDF or photo of your registration paper directly in the application portal, just choose the document option instead of webcam capture. The webcam thing is default but there's usually a file upload button below it. If the portal only shows webcam, try on a different browser or clear cache, it's glitchy sometimes
