Question

Answer 1

If you have renewed your Azure for Students subscription and are seeing $0 credits despite successful verification of your academic status, there could be a few reasons for this issue.

1. Eligibility and Verification: Ensure that you meet all eligibility requirements for the Azure for Students program. You must be a full-time student at an accredited institution and verify your status through your institution's email address.
2. Subscription Activation: Sometimes, there may be a delay in the activation of the credits after renewal. It may take some time for the system to update your account with the new credits.
3. Contact Support: If the problem persists, it is advisable to contact Azure support for assistance. They can provide specific details regarding your account and help resolve any issues related to your credits.

Make sure to check your Azure portal again after some time, and if necessary, reach out to support for clarification.
