I’m Unable to Pick Any Region When Creating a New Azure Database for Postgresql Flexible Server. How Would I Fix This?

Question

So, I've been trying to create a Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible serve. However whenever I get to the region part I get told: "Subscription 'Azure for Students Starter' is not allowed to provision in [Region here]" Which was no problem at first, however upon clicking on every single Region available I got the same prompt for every single one. I'm attempting to use Azure for homework, and it's apparent that my peers were able to create their servers no problem. So I figured I'd ask and see if anyone had this same problem, and how to fix it. Also, I do have the Student Starter subscription.

Hi Rolando,

Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person.

Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

Click on assignment named Allowed resource deployment regions

Examine Allowed locations Parameter value for list of regions, similar to below (regions in screenshot are different than yours):

The regions shown in your Parameter value are the ones you are allowed to deploy resources to. Please try to create in one/all of these regions and let me know the results.
