This is actually a pretty common issue GitHub’s verification seems to expect the exact same name format as on your official documents. Since your bonafide and ID card use First Middle Last, make sure your GitHub profile full name also follows the same format (spacing and order included).

I’ve seen cases where even small mismatches cause rejection. If it still doesn’t work, the best option is to raise a ticket with GitHub Education and explain that your university uses this naming format, especially since it’s a distance learning program. Manual review usually clears it up. also make sure that the verification document you are using is credible.
