Separate free Student Azure account from College Azure?

Question

I signed up for the Azure free student account using my student email, but it just shows the College's Azure portal, instead of my own (at least that is how I think it should work). How do I separate the two? Was it my mistake to do it with my student email?

Hello,

If you were looking to sign up with Azure for Students, this is not wrong. If you were looking for student benefits, then this was the correct process:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students

If you are looking to sign up for Azure Free then you should be using:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/free/free-account-faq

You cannot separate the two, you will need to sign up with a completely separate account. You may need to reach out to sales to see if you qualify for Azure Free now that you have taken advantage of Azure for Students.
