    The error indicates that the account no longer meets the eligibility or renewal conditions for Azure for Students.

    Key points from the offer rules:

    1. Eligibility requirements
      • Must attend an accredited, degree‑granting two‑ or four‑year educational institution as a full‑time student.
      • Must verify academic status using the institution’s email address.
      • The offer is limited to one Azure for Students subscription per eligible customer and is nontransferable.
      If current status does not meet these conditions (for example, no longer a full‑time student or cannot verify with an eligible school email), renewal is not allowed and the portal will show that renewal is not eligible.
    2. Renewal behavior
      • Azure for Students gives $100 credit for 12 months.
      • After 12 months, if still a student and still eligible, the subscription can be renewed by signing up again for the offer on the Azure for Students website.
      • If student status is no longer valid after the offer expires, renewal is not possible. In that case, to keep using Azure services, the subscription must be upgraded to a pay‑as‑you‑go subscription in the Azure portal.
    3. When credit or time has expired
      • After the $100 credit is exhausted or 12 months have passed (whichever comes first), the Azure for Students subscription is canceled if it is not renewed or upgraded.
      • To continue using Azure after that point, upgrade to a pay‑as‑you‑go subscription. If not upgraded, deployed products are decommissioned after the grace period.

    To proceed for college projects:

    • If still fully eligible (full‑time at an accredited institution with a valid school email), verify that the correct academic email is used and attempt to sign up again for Azure for Students via the official offer page as described in the documentation.
    • If no longer eligible, or if the system continues to show not eligible, use or create a standard Azure account and upgrade to a pay‑as‑you‑go subscription to continue running the required projects.

    For any issues with eligibility checks or if the portal behavior does not match the documented rules, contact Azure support from the Azure portal to review the specific account and eligibility status.
