I do not have a student email id provided by the college .

Answer 1

Azure for Students and Azure for Students Starter both require verification of academic status through an organization-provided email address or supported verification method.

From the available information:

• Azure for Students requires that the student:
  1. Attend an accredited, degree-granting two- or four-year institution as a full-time student.
  2. Verify academic status through the institution’s email address.
• Azure for Students Starter requires that the student:
  1. Meet the age requirement (13+ in the US, 16+ elsewhere).
  2. Verify academic status through the organization’s email address (or Shibboleth if the organization supports it).

Both offers are limited to one subscription per eligible customer and are not available for MOOCs or other for‑profit trainings.

If the college does not provide a student email address and there is no supported alternative verification method (such as Shibboleth) configured for that institution, eligibility for Azure for Students / Students Starter cannot be completed based on the information in the context. In that case, the only supported path is:

1. Confirm with the college administration/IT whether:
   • A student email domain exists and can be issued, or
   • The institution participates in Microsoft’s academic verification systems (for example, via Shibboleth for Azure for Students Starter).
2. If the institution cannot provide a supported verification method, the student cannot use these specific student offers under the documented rules.

The Student Ambassadors program itself is not described in the provided context, but if it depends on successful Azure for Students verification, the same limitation applies when no institution email or supported verification is available.
