Filing a support ticket to change your birthday (previously the only way to get this done) is a thing of the past! Now users aged 13 and above can adjust their own birthdays, and parents can adjust the birthdays of their connected children who are younger than 13.

To adjust your birthday, go to your Account Settings by clicking your name in the top right of your Khan Academy account. (Instructions for adjusting child account settings can be found here.)

From there, select Settings. At the top of this page will be the Basics section, where you can click into the box next to Birthdate and select the appropriate date.

Thank you for the requests that inspired this update! Keep the feedback coming!

Hello,

I have a problem and I need help.

I created accounts for my entire class. I cannot change their Birthdate because they are not in my child list. And, also, they cannot change their own Birthdate (Username, Gender and Birthdate are blocked). They often need to change Primary language and now we cannot change, because Birthdate is empty and it gives an error "Birthdates must be in the past".

Please help and Thanks.

Regards,

Giorgi

Hello,

Was this problem solved? I have about 150 students that I created accounts for as well. We are about to add an additional 60 and would really like to be able to update the students' information so that they can connect their accounts to CollegeBoard. Thanks!
