Create a student account in Azure

Question

Hi everyone!

I would like to start with Azure Machine Learning and I have seen that if you have a student account, you can get a 100$ and access to Azure Machine Learning for free ... But when I try to register, Azure ask me a Windows Account (hotmail, outlook...) and my student account is gmail. So what Can I do?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Hi 

If you want to get the student account your school mail domain must be registered with Microsoft as its validates during account creation.

Else you will get the below error 

>>> Your email domain is not currently registered with us. You can choose another verification method.

It is even documented by MS as FAQ

Reference:- https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/free/free-account-students-faq/

Hope this is helpful !!

Thank you
