## DigitalOcean student credit

- `compute/digitalocean-student-credit` | dead | evidence documented | binding none | category dev environment
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution yes | verified 2026-10-22 (live) | stale on 2026-11-22
- url https://github.com/github-education-resources/Student-Developer-Pack-Current-Partners-FAQ/blob/main/SDP-changelog.md
- free tier: The pack's cloud-credit headline is gone. Quoted from the official pack changelog dated July 7, 2026: "DigitalOcean is leaving the Student Developer Pack, and their student credit offer for $200 of platform credit will no longer be available after July 31, 2026." Any remaining credits expired on 2026-08-01. | unit: none | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: none
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: institution
- interface: unknown
- limits note: Two doors close: the USD 200 DigitalOcean credit ended on 2026-07-31, and the whole pack requires verified full-time student status at an accredited institution, which a user does not hold.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: Nothing durable. What remains in the pack is a set of one-shot coupons, mostly software licences rather than compute, and each starts a clock when redeemed.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The DigitalOcean offer page now redirects to the homepage and a new account gets USD 5 for 90 days, which is the trial that replaced USD 200.

  - [3] 2026-10-22: on 2026-09-06 the offers page no longer listed DigitalOcean, and the author notes GitHub's own docs say some partner offers cannot renew
