Unclear proof of affiliation documents
If the image you uploaded doesn't clearly identify your current employment with a school or university, you must reapply and upload another image of your faculty ID or employment verification letter with clear information.
Note
PDF files are not supported and you cannot upload them as proof of affiliation.
Using an academic email with an unverified domain
If your academic email address has an unverified domain, we may require further proof of your academic status. When you reapply, upload a different image than the one you included in your first application. Make sure that at least one date that demonstrates your current academic status is clearly visible.

Using an academic email from a school with lax email policies
If alumni and retired faculty of your school have lifetime access to school-issued email addresses, we may require further proof of your academic status. When you reapply, upload a different image than the one you included in your first application. Make sure that at least one date that demonstrates your current academic status is clearly visible.
Note
PDF files are not supported and you cannot upload them as proof of affiliation.
If you have other questions or concerns about the school domain, please ask your school IT staff to contact us.
