Request for Manual Verification - Azure for Students

Auricelia Bessa 0

I am a student currently enrolled in the MBA program in Business and Analytics at the University of São Paulo (USP), School of Communications and Arts. I have been trying to activate my free Azure for Students account using my institutional email (******@usp.br), but the system has not been able to automatically confirm my university affiliation. Attached, please find my official enrollment certificate issued by USP for manual verification. I kindly request that you validate my eligibility for the Azure for Students benefit. Thank you in advance for your attention, and I look forward to your response. Best regards,
Auricelia Bessa

Try using your official school email and upload a clear proof of enrollment or student ID when asked, check your spam folder and resend the verification email if you don’t see it, try again in a private browser window to avoid cached issues, make sure your organization admin has approved any required identity checks, and if automatic verification fails gather your enrollment document and a screenshot and contact support for manual verification

Hello Auricelia Bessa,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

It sounds like you're having trouble activating your Azure for Students account because your university affiliation can't be automatically confirmed. Here are a few steps you can try to help with the manual verification process:

Official Email Use: Make sure you're using your official USP email address (like your provided one, ******@usp.br) to sign up.

Clear the Cache: Sometimes, lingering data can cause issues. Try clearing your browser cache or using a private/incognito browsing window to register again.

Verify Enrollment Document: You mentioned that you attached your enrollment certificate for manual verification, which is great! Make sure it's clear and legible, as that helps in the verification process.

Additional Follow-Up Questions:

Have you tried accessing the registration process through a different browser or device?

Are you receiving any specific error messages when trying to verify your email?

Have you already followed up with Azure Support regarding the manual verification request?

Do you have any other documentation that confirms your enrollment status, such as a student ID?
