Hi,

I am a student of Vellore Institute of Technology (Vijayawada) completed my 4th semester. I want to learn Azure and trying to register as a student. I could see my university/college name in the registration form, but after submitting, it throws an error saying the domain is not registered.

My official student email domain is @vitapstudents.ac.in

Pls help in resolving this issue at the earliest, so that I can complete my registrstion.

Thanks,

Sree Vennela Beetukuri

    Azure Dev Tools for Teaching (now in Azure Education Hub) requires that the institution’s email domain be registered and recognized for student access. The error that the domain is not registered indicates that the domain vitapstudents.ac.in is not currently configured in the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching program for the institution.

    This cannot be fixed from a student account. The resolution must be done by the institution’s administrator for Azure Dev Tools for Teaching or the IT department. The admin needs to ensure that the correct university domain is associated with the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching subscription so that student accounts using @vitapstudents.ac.in are recognized.

    In the meantime, if there is an existing Microsoft account (for example, already used for Xbox or other Microsoft services), it can be linked to the university email address once the institution has correctly configured the domain:

    1. Go to the Microsoft account sign-in page: https://account.microsoft.com.
    2. Sign in with the existing Microsoft account credentials.
    3. On the ribbon, select Your info.
    4. Select Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.
    5. Verify identity using the security code sent by email, then select Verify.
    6. Select Add email and enter the university email address @vitapstudents.ac.in.

    After the institution has registered and enabled the domain for Azure Dev Tools for Teaching, the university email address can be used to sign in.

    Contact the college/university IT or the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching program coordinator and share the exact error message about the domain not being registered so they can correct the domain configuration.
