Upgrade your Azure free account or Azure for Students Starter account

You can upgrade your Azure free account to pay-as-you-go rates in the Azure portal.

If you have an Azure for Students Starter account and are eligible for an Azure free account, you can upgrade to it to an Azure free account. You get $200 Azure credit in your billing currency and 12 months of free services on upgrade. If you don't qualify for a free account, you can upgrade to pay-as-you-go rates with a support request.

If you have an Azure for Students account, you can upgrade to pay-as-you-go rates.

Note

If you use resources that aren’t free and your subscription gets disabled because you run out of credit, and then you upgrade your subscription, the resources get enabled after upgrade. This situation will result in you getting charged for the resources used.

For example, if you signed up on November 1 and upgrade on November 5, any unused credits will be available until November 30. You also have access to free services for 12 months after the upgrade.
