Hello Shawn Wilson, It sounds like you’re having trouble with your Azure account being suspended, especially since you’re returning as a student. Here’s what you can do to reactivate your account:

Contact Azure Support: Since your account is suspended, the first step is to reach out to Azure Support directly to request unblocking your account. You can create a support request via this link: Azure Support.

Verify Account Status: It’s important to ensure that your account isn't marked as unmanaged in Azure's system, which could impact access. If it is, you may need to transition your account to a managed status.

Check for Inactivity: If there has been no activity on your Azure account for over 12 months, it could have been flagged as inactive, leading to suspension. Information regarding unused subscriptions can be found here: Avoid Unused Subscriptions.

Explore Subscription Type: If you were utilizing an Azure for Students subscription, note that credits expire after 12 months. If that’s the case, you might need to upgrade to a pay-as-you-go subscription to continue using services: Why is my Azure for Students subscription disabled?.

Follow-Up: If needed, follow up on any requests you make with support to ensure everything is processed on time.

I hope this helps you get back on track! If you encounter any issues or have more questions, feel free to ask!
