Unable to get verified on my student email

Question

I am unable to verify as a student using my school email to access the free linkedIn premium offer

Answer 1

Hi Hetvi Samir Thakkar,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum. I understand how frustrating it can be when you’re unable to verify your student status using your school email to access the free LinkedIn Premium offer.

Student verification for this offer is handled by an automated system and can sometimes fail at an individual account level, even if other students from the same institution are eligible. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to manually submit documents or override the verification process through the forum.

At this point, the best next step is to contact Microsoft Support for further assistance.

You can contact Microsoft Support by following these steps:

• Visit: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus
• Briefly describe your issue (for example, “Unable to verify student status for LinkedIn Premium offer”) and press Enter
• Scroll down and select Contact Support and chat with agent via web

If your Microsoft 365 student verification eventually completes but the LinkedIn Premium activation email does not arrive, LinkedIn Support may also need to review the activation on their side.

You can also follow the instructions in this article to contact LinkedIn support: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a518597/getting-help-and-contacting-linkedin-customer-service?lang=en
