2. Next to the organization name, click **Upgrade** to upgrade to GitHub Team for free.

   **Note:** You may be required to re-verify your faculty status one time to upgrade your organization. To do re-verify, click _submit your information again_. Reverification takes a few days, so thank you in advance for your patience.
