Assistance with Azure for Students Verification

Hello Trung Nguyen,

Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A portal

It sounds like you're having some trouble signing up for the "Azure for Students" offer, even though you meet the requirements. Let's see what you can do about this!

Here what you can try:

1. Check Eligibility: Ensure that your university email is verified and you meet the age requirement, which is 16 years or older if you’re not in the US.
2. Use GitHub for Verification: Since you have an active GitHub Student Developer Pack, you can use it to sign up for Azure for Students. Make sure you sign in with your GitHub user ID and not your email address. Here’s a quick rundown of the steps to follow:
   • Go to Azure Student Verification.
   • Select “Sign in with GitHub.”
   • Make sure your primary email on GitHub matches your university email.
   • Obtain a unique code from the Azure benefits section in your GitHub pack and enter this code during the verification process.
3. Avoid Existing Subscriptions: If you've mistakenly signed up for the Pay-As-You-Go plan, this may affect your eligibility for Azure for Students. Unfortunately, once you've signed up for a paid subscription, it can restrict your ability to access free offers like Azure for Students.
4. Contact Support: If the above steps don’t work, consider reaching out directly to Azure for Education support for assistance.
