Unable to verify student status because my college does not provide a school email ID

Hello @KARTHICK R,   

Good day! Thank you for posting your valuable question on Microsoft Q&A forum.  

Regarding you need to access Microsoft Students benefits, here are what I've found after my research: 

1. Azure for Students 

According to Microsoft’s official policy for Azure for Students, verification is typically completed using a school-issued email address from an accredited institution. Unfortunately, manual verification using a student ID or fee receipt is not listed in the guidance for Azure for Students. 

For your reference:  

• Frequently asked questions about Azure for Education | Microsoft Learn 
• Azure for College Students—Offer Details | Microsoft Azure 

If your college does not provide a school email, here are some recommended alternatives: 

GitHub Student Developer Pack 

GitHub Education allows students to verify their status using alternative proof, such as a student ID card or an enrollment letter. After successful verification, you can redeem an Azure activation code from GitHub’s offers page. You can refer to a Microsoft Q&A thread with answer accepted by the question author:  i don't have school mail id but i want to redeem azure student - Microsoft Q&A 

Azure for Students Starter 

This program does not require a school email or credit card and provides limited services for learning purposes. For your information, see:  Microsoft Azure for Students Starter Offer | Microsoft Azure 

2.Microsoft Learn for Students 

For learning content: No school email required, you can sign in with a personal Microsoft account and select “Student” in your profile. 

For certification discounts: You must verify academic status in your Learn profile (usually via school email or other accepted proof).

3.Student Ambassadors Program 

A free global program for students passionate about technology. It helps you build skills, lead communities, and access exclusive benefits like Azure credits, Visual Studio, LinkedIn Learning, and mentorship. 

If you want to apply this program: 

1. Create a Microsoft Learn profile and complete at least one learning path. 
2. Prepare your application with:  
   • Learn profile URL 
   • Social media links 
   • A short video introducing yourself and your tech interests 
3. Submit your application at Become a Student Ambassador.

Per your request to complete the verification process, please contact your school’s IT administrator or Microsoft 365 administrator to check if they can assist you. 

• If you’re unsure who the IT administrator or Microsoft 365 administrator is within your organization, you can find guidance on locating them here: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support.  

• If your school cannot provide a school ID email address, ask the admin to reach out to Microsoft Support to confirm whether alternative verification methods are accepted. For instructions on creating a support ticket, your admin can follow:  Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn
