Student email domain not recognized by Azuret your domain is not registered

Nekhita Sri M 0

I am trying to sign up for Azure for Students, but when I enter my college email, it shows “Your email domain is not currently registered with us.” My college email is valid and other students from my college are able to create accounts. I cannot complete student verification using email, so I need manual verification using my student ID document. Please help me verify my student status.

Hello Nekhita Sri M, it sounds like you're having trouble signing up for Azure for Students because your college email domain isn't recognized. This can be frustrating, especially since you mentioned that other students from your college can create accounts without issues. Here’s what you can do:

Double-Check Your Email: Make sure you're entering your college email correctly, as typos can cause the system to not recognize it.

Domain Verification: The error you're encountering usually suggests that your email domain isn't registered with Azure. Your college might need to verify their domain with Microsoft for student accounts to work properly. You could suggest that your college IT department check this.

Manual Verification: Since you mentioned needing manual verification with your student ID, it's best to reach out to Azure support directly. They might be able to assist you more swiftly with the manual verification process for your student status. Make sure to include your student ID document when you contact them.
