Call for Volunteers – Focus Group for New AI-900 Simulation
We’re excited to invite you to help shape the future of the AI-900: Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals course. We’re seeking volunteers to test the new AI-900 simulation lab environment and share feedback on content alignment, student readiness, usability, and how simulated labs compare to traditional live, hands-on labs. If you’re interested in participating in a live virtual focus group, please complete this Microsoft Form. We’ll collect your name, institution, and institution email so we can follow up. A member of our team will reach out soon with next steps. Thank you for your continued support of the Microsoft Learn for Educators community. Your feedback plays a critical role in improving learning experiences for educators and students alike.
Azure For Students Subscriptions - "Your email domain is not currently registered with us"
Hello, I am a teacher at a vocational school and we are experiencing a recurring issue with Azure for Students academic verification, affecting multiple students at the same time. Our school setup (for context) Our institution is structured as follows: We have a student domain that is registered and whitelisted with Microsoft as an academic domain, for example: email address removed for privacy reasons We also have a separate organisational domain used for staff and business operations, for example: email address removed for privacy reasons Students are instructed to: Sign in to Azure using their personal Microsoft account (typically Outlook/Hotmail) Use their school email address only for academic verification during the Azure for Students sign-up flow This setup has worked historically, but we are now seeing repeated failures. The issue we are seeing Students complete CAPTCHA and email verification successfully. The process then fails with: “Sorry, your academic status could not be verified.” or similar This happens even when: Students use a private/incognito browser session VPNs and ad blockers are disabled Only one Microsoft account is signed in No account switching occurs during the flow The issue affects multiple students from the same institution, often within the same timeframe. Because Azure for Students verification appears to allow only one attempt, students who fail once are effectively blocked and end up in a support loop. Observations Based on volume and timing, this does not appear to be individual user error. We suspect one or more of the following: A backend verification or account-linking issue An institutional configuration mismatch that is not clearly surfaced A generic or outdated error message that does not accurately reflect the real cause of failure At this point, I am not fully convinced that the error message always represents a true eligibility problem. What we are hoping to learn Are other schools using a similar setup (personal Microsoft account + separate student email domain for verification)? Are there known best practices or preferred configurations for institutions with multiple domains? Is there guidance we can pass on to our IT team to improve compatibility with Azure for Students verification? Is there a way for failed verifications to be reviewed or reset when the institution and domain are valid? Our goal is not just to fix individual cases, but to understand whether our institutional setup could be improved to prevent this issue going forward. Any insight from Microsoft staff or other educators would be greatly appreciated. RobinLBaldwin Mahlah_Murray

Multiple education institutions for one account
Hello, I work in two places (both are educational institutions), and through MSLE I deliver classes to high‑school and university students. Is it possible to assign two school names to one MSLE account? I would like to be able to select the correct institution here
