I tried creating an azure account for students but failed to complete the verification. Now, when I try to verify academic status I'm unable to do so. Itried verifying so many times and hence I've reached the limit. Kindly look into this and revert back as soon as possible.

Hello Angelin Blessy Jery, it looks like you're facing some issues with verifying your academic status for your Azure student account. This can definitely be frustrating!

Here’s what you can try:

Retry the Verification Process: Ensure that you’re using your correct academic email or any other method your institution supports for verification. Make sure that this email is the one associated with your school.

Wait Before Attempting Again: Since you've reached the limit for attempts, it might be a good idea to wait for a while before trying again. Sometimes, waiting a few hours or a day can help reset your limits.

Check Your Email for Confirmation: If you are using a GitHub account for verification, ensure you’ve confirmed your GitHub email (it has to be your primary email).

In the meantime, if you're looking for support resources or alternatives, you might want to check the following links:

I hope this helps! Thanks

Hey there, Angelin Blessy Jery

Please be aware that the system verifies if you are eligible for the Azure Students subscription using the information you have provided in the sign-up form. When you provide your university/school email address, it will then verify if the educational institution the email address belongs to is a verified educational institution that Microsoft has verified for using Microsoft's services.

Please can you check that you meet the requirements for the Azure Student subscription via this article here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/education-hub/azure-dev-tools-teaching/program-faq#azure-for-students

If you believe you are eligible, please speak to your IT department and see if any other student has registered for the Azure Student subscription. You could ask your IT team if they have a Microsoft Educational licence. If they have, then the educational institution has been verified as an academic institution that can apply for Microsoft educational products.

Kindly look into this and revert back as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, you will need to wait for the system to unblock you to sign up again. Support are unable to manually apply this licence/subscription to your account or tenant. The subscription can only be applied through the system that checks your eligibility when signing up for the subscription.

I don't know how long it takes for your account to be unblocked. I would have thought it would be around 24 to 48 hours before the account is unblocked so it can sign up for the Azure Student subscription.

Hope this helps,
Nathan

If you are having trouble verifying your academic status for Azure for Students, it's important to note that there is a limit to the number of verification attempts you can make. If you have reached this limit, you may need to wait before trying again or consider contacting Microsoft support for assistance. Make sure that you are using your institution's email address for verification, as this is a requirement for the process. If you continue to experience issues, reaching out to your educational institution's IT support may also be helpful, as they can assist with any problems related to your email or account verification.
