Student Azure Account Access

N RUDRAPRIYAN 0

Dear Support Team,

I am currently experiencing difficulties accessing the Azure for Students benefits using my student email ID, which is already associated with my Azure account. Despite having a valid academic email address, I am unable to activate or access the Azure for Students subscription.

As I am currently working on an academic project that requires the use of Azure services, I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue at the earliest convenience.

Please let me know if any further verification or documentation is needed from my side to facilitate the process.

Thank you for your support.

Hello N RUDRAPRIYAN,

Looks you’re signed into your existing Azure account that’s linked to your academic email, but you cannot activate or access the Azure for Students benefits.

Azure for Students can only be activated once per account/identity; if you (or another account tied to you) already claimed it, activation will fail.

Ensure you must be full-time student and sometime the verification may not be completed properly, you may need to reverify your email if prompted.

Check for expired subscription, azure for student offers $100 in credit for 12 months, if you have consumed this or expired, the subscription may be disabled until the upgrade to reactivate

You see the message "Your current account type is not supported"

This issue can occur if the account is registered in an unmanaged Microsoft Entra directory, and it isn't in your organization's Microsoft Entra directory. To resolve this issue, sign up the Azure account by using another account, or take over the unmanaged AD directory. For more information, see Take over an unmanaged directory as administrator in Microsoft Entra ID.

The issue can also occur if the account was created using the Microsoft 365 Developer Program. Microsoft doesn't allow purchasing other paid services using your Microsoft 365 Developer Program subscription. For more information, see Does the subscription also include a subscription to Azure?
