Common Questions

▼
Do I need a new MongoDB Atlas account to use the credits?
No, you can apply the promotional code to either a new or existing Atlas account. However, the code can only be redeemed once per Atlas organization.
What's the difference between the free tier and the $50 credits?
The M0 free tier (512MB, always free) is available to everyone for learning. The $50 credits let you access paid features like larger dedicated clusters, more storage, backups, and Atlas Search that go beyond the free tier limitations.
How do I get the free MongoDB certification?
Complete a MongoDB University Certification Learning Path while verified as a student. Within 24 hours of completion, you'll receive an email with a 100% discount code for the certification exam. If you don't receive it, submit MongoDB's student free certification form.
Do the credits expire?
Official sources don't specify an expiration date after activation. Credits are billed hourly against your usage until exhausted. Check the current terms at mongodb.com/students for the latest details.
Can I renew the $50 credits after they're used?
The credits are a one-time benefit per Atlas organization. There's no automatic renewal, but you can continue using the always-free M0 tier indefinitely for learning purposes.
What if I'm not approved for GitHub Student Developer Pack?
You'll need to be verified through GitHub first. Make sure you have valid proof of enrollment such as a school-issued email, student ID, or enrollment letter. The free M0 tier is still available to everyone without verification.
