Hello,

Azure for Students

The School of Business and Information Technology provides an Azure Dev Tools for Teaching (Education Hub) account to access and download software. Through the account, you can download a variety of Microsoft software for free, such as MS Project, MS Visio, MS SQL Server, MS Visual Studio, Windows operating systems, etc.

Follow these steps to sign up for an account. Before you begin, please watch a short video on how to access Azure for Students.

NOTE: Software with product keys needs to be downloaded once, so please make sure you download it to the correct device you will be using in school.

  1. Clear the cache and cookies of the browser you are using.
  2. Use InPrivate or Incognito browser.
  3. Go to this link to set up the new account.
  4. Use a Gmail, Yahoo, or other personal account that is not previously set up as a Microsoft account. DO NOT USE YOUR PURDUE GLOBAL STUDENT ACCOUNT.
  5. You might be asked to verify your Student Status. If so, be sure to use your STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS when asked to verify your Student Status.
  6. You may be asked to agree to the terms and conditions (for first-time users). If not, you should be routed to the Education | Overview page.
  7. To see all the software available, select the Software link located on the left-hand side of the page. You should see 74 software applications. IMPORTANT: Microsoft has asked that students accept the $100 credit for Azure for Students.
  8. Using the small search bar, search for the specific software that you would like to download.
  9. Select the Download button to download the software and the View Key button to generate a product key. Most of the software found in the Education Hub portal has its own designated product key. These product keys are specifically used to activate the software once it is successfully installed on your device.

Follow these steps to install Visio.

Please note, Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are not available through the Azure account; these applications are available with Microsoft 365. You can access Microsoft 365 and the Windows operating system from your portal, under the Resources tab, Student Store and Discounts, Microsoft 365, OnTheHub Software Store.

*If you are using a Mac you will need to install a virtual machine such as VirtualBox.org or Parallels so you can install and run Windows. Visio is not available for Mac.

If you have followed the steps above and are unable to successfully reach the software you require, please visit the Academic Success Center, which is on your portal under the Resources tab. In the Academic Success Center, scroll down to the Technology Center and look for Technology Academic Software Support (TASS). Technology Technical Support Specialists are there to help you with the academic software installation process.

    Hello Chan Mandyam, It sounds like you're struggling with logging into your Azure account and downloading Microsoft Visio, which is definitely causing a bit of stress with your assignments. Don’t worry, let’s see if we can sort this out.

    Here’s a step-by-step guide you can follow to try and resolve your issue:

    1. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Sometimes, old cache and cookies can prevent you from logging in. Go to your browser settings and clear them.
    2. Incognito Mode: Try accessing the sign-up page in an Incognito window. This can help eliminate issues related to extensions or cache.
    3. Sign Up Link: Make sure you are using the correct link to sign up for Azure for Students: Azure Student Verification.
    4. Account Type: Ensure that the email account you are using is a personal Gmail account (not the school’s account) and that it hasn’t been previously set up as a Microsoft account.
    5. Student Email Verification: If prompted to verify your student status, use your official student email address to do so.
    6. Terms and Conditions: Accept any terms and conditions if prompted, which is common for first-time setups.
    7. Education Hub Access: Once you are in, look for the software section on the left side. You should see links to download Microsoft Visio and other software options.
    8. Download Process: You might need to click the ‘Download’ button and possibly generate a product key. Make sure to do this on the device you will use for your school work.
    9. Installation Instructions: You can access installation instructions here for Visio.
    10. Mac Users: If you're using a Mac, note that you’ll need a virtual machine (like VirtualBox or Parallels) to install Visio since it's not natively available on macOS.

    If after following these steps you’re still facing issues, I recommend reaching out to your school’s Academic Success Center for additional support, particularly through the Technology Academic Software Support (TASS) team.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.
