- Check your Certification Profile Status
- Go straight to Microsoft Learn Settings https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/support/learn-profile-manage (make sure you sign in with the same account you use for your certifications).
- Scroll down to the Account Management section.
- Look at your linked accounts. If your academic verification was successful, you will typically see your student status flagged here, or you will see your school/institutional email address (.edu) successfully linked as a secondary login.
- The Ultimate Test (The Exam Registration Page) The absolute best way to know if Microsoft has recognized your student discount is to mock-register for an exam:
- Go to any exam page (like AZ-900, AI-900, etc.) and click Schedule Exam.
- When you reach the Certification Profile details page (where your legal name and address live), look at the top right corner.
- Next to your Job Title, it should explicitly say Student - Verified. If it does, your academic discount (usually up to 45% off role-based exams or free fundamentals) will automatically apply at the final checkout screen.
Note: If your profile says "Student" but not "Verified," the system will prompt you right there on the registration page to enter your school email or upload documentation (like a student ID or transcript) to finish the job.
