# Copilot individual plan sign-ups are reopening > Source: > Published: 2026-06-17 14:10:00+00:00 # Copilot individual plan sign-ups are reopening We’re reopening sign-ups for GitHub Copilot Student, Pro, Pro+, and Max plans gradually over the next couple of weeks for new subscribers. If you’ve been waiting to get started with Copilot, select the [plan](https://github.com/features/copilot/plans?cft=copilot_lo.features_copilot&utm_campaign=Enterprise&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=github) that fits your needs. If your preferred option isn’t available yet, check back soon. If you find that you’re using more than what’s included in your current plan, we’ve made some updates to help you get the best experience: **Upgrade to unlock more included usage:** When approaching your included and additional usage limits, you’ll see prompts to upgrade to the next tier. You only pay the price difference between plans. Upon upgrading, you immediately get access to the new plan’s total included usage, minus what you’ve already used this month.- **Pay as you go and stay on your current plan:** You don’t need to switch plans to keep going. If you’ve exhausted your included credits and hit your additional spending limit, you can pay for the additional usage you’ve already consumed, giving you continued access without switching plans. Changes to the upgrades and continued usage experiences are effective immediately.
