    Dear @Karl Björnsson (student syh),

    Good day! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

    Based on your description, I understand that you're a student and have already created an account using your student email address. You're looking for guidance on how to verify your student status and would like to know what the next step is to access student-related Microsoft benefits and services.

    To understand the situation better and provide you with the most suitable support, could you confirm the following information: 

    • Are you trying to access Microsoft 365 Education benefits (such as free Office apps)?
    • After signing up with your student email address, did you receive any verification email from Microsoft or your school?
    • Are you seeing any error message when you sign in or attempt to access education services?
    • What website or page are you using to check your eligibility (for example, the Microsoft 365 Education signup page)?
    • Is your student email provided directly by your educational institution (for example, ending in .edu or your school's domain)?
    • Could you kindly provide me with screenshots of your current situation so I could have a visual reference and more information on this?

    Your confirmation would be very helpful in ensuring you receive the most suitable support!

    If you’re able to share a bit more about your situation, I might be able to suggest some helpful next steps. 

    Kindly let me know when there are updates or if you need further assistance. Any updates you’re able to share would be really helpful. I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing how things are going! 

    Thank you for your time and patience.
