Answer 1

Hello,

Microsoft does not have the authority to directly manage organization users. Instead, each organization's IT administrator is responsible for managing its users according to its internal protocols.

Have your son contact the college’s IT department. They setup and manage all the internal users. Microsoft does typically provide students Microsoft 365 licenses but they are awarded to the academic institutions and their IT departments will distribute them according to each of their own standards.

Answer 2

To speak with Microsoft customer service or request a call back, use the official Microsoft Support channels rather than a direct 800 number.

On an iPhone:

1. Open Safari and go to the Microsoft customer service page for your region:
   • Go to Customer service phone numbers and select your country/region to see available phone and callback options.
2. For home/consumer help (account, billing, Microsoft 365 used through a school, Windows, Office):
   • On the Home Users section, tap Get Help.
   • Describe the problem (for example: “Need help with school Microsoft 365 account for Texas Tech”).
   • Follow the prompts to either use self-help, chat, or request a call back from an agent.

If the issue is specifically with signing in to a school (work or school) account:

• Use the Help with a work or school account password link from the Microsoft account help pages. This will guide through recovery or support options for school accounts.
• Texas Tech’s IT/help desk may also need to assist, because school accounts are managed by the university.

If accessibility or disability support is needed:

• Contact the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk for specialized technical assistance and accessible support options.

For people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing in the U.S. or Canada:

• A TTY/TDD service is available via the Microsoft Sales Information Center and Microsoft Product Support Services at the numbers and hours listed in the references below.

To talk to a live agent via chat (for Outlook/Hotmail or Microsoft account issues):

1. Sign in at outlook.com.
2. Select Help in the ribbon, then Help again.
3. Type the issue in the box.
4. If suggested answers do not help, scroll down and choose Yes under “Still need help”.
5. Select Chat with a support agent in your web browser and fill in the details to start a live chat.

If using Windows on any device in the future, the Get Help app can also connect to support:

1. Open Get Help from the Start menu.
2. Type “Chat with an agent”.
3. Select Contact support and follow the prompts to choose product and support option (chat or call back).

For questions about whether a subscription must be paid for:

• When a college such as Texas Tech provides Microsoft 365, the school typically manages the licenses. The university’s IT or help desk can confirm whether the student needs to purchase anything or if access is included with enrollment.
