Hello Microsoft Community,

I am a B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering student trying to register for the Azure for Students free offer, but I am unable to complete the verification process.

When I attempt to verify my student status, I receive the following error message:

“Unable to confirm your University ID”

Previously, I also encountered an error stating that my college email domain is not currently registered.

I am using my official college email address ending in @vvit.net. This is my first attempt to register for Azure for Students.

Could someone please guide me on how to resolve this issue and verify my student eligibility? I would like to access the free Azure student benefits for learning and academic projects.

Thank you for your time and support.

    Submit a free Subscription Management support request asking Microsoft to review the unrecognized @vvit.net academic domain and manually assess your Azure for Students verification. ^1^

    Create the support request

    1. Sign in using your official college account ending in @vvit.net.
    2. Open the Azure support ticket page:
      https://azure.microsoft.com/support/create-ticket/
    3. If redirected to the Azure portal, select ? (Help) in the top header.
    4. Describe the issue as Azure for Students academic verification failure.
    5. If the suggested solutions do not resolve it, select Create a support request.
    6. Select Subscription Management as the issue type—not Technical. Subscription-management support is available without purchasing a technical support plan. ^2^
    7. Include:
      • The exact messages: “Unable to confirm your University ID” and “Your email domain is not currently registered”
      • Your institution’s full name and official website
      • Confirmation that you are a full-time B.Tech student
      • Confirmation that this is your first Azure for Students application
      • A screenshot showing the error, with personal details not needed by support obscured
      • A request to review whether vvit.net can be recognized as the institution’s academic domain

    Do not publish your full college email address, student ID, or other identity documents in this public Q&A thread. Provide requested evidence only through the private support case.

    Confirm the eligibility requirements

    Azure for Students requires that you:

    • Are at least 18 years old.
    • Attend an accredited, degree-granting two-year or four-year institution as a full-time student.
    • Verify your status through the institution’s email address.
    • Have no existing Azure for Students subscription, because the offer is limited to one subscription per eligible customer. ^3^

    Using an official college mailbox does not by itself guarantee automated approval when its domain is not recognized. Similar verification cases identify an unrecognized or currently ineligible institutional domain as a possible reason and direct eligible students to Azure subscription support. ^4^

    If support requests institutional confirmation

    Contact your college IT department or academic administration and ask them to confirm:

    • vvit.net is owned and operated by the institution.
    • The address issued to you is an active student account.
    • The institution is accredited and degree-granting.
    • Who can respond if Microsoft needs domain-ownership or accreditation confirmation.

    A personal email address is not a substitute for academic-status verification; the documented offer requires verification through your institution’s email address. ^5^
