How to get discount for student account

To get a student discount on Microsoft Certification exams, the student status must be verified in the Microsoft Learn profile. Selecting “Student” in the career path is only the first step; the actual verification and discount appear during exam registration.

Use the following checks and steps:

1. Complete the student setup in Learn profile
   • Sign in to the Learn profile and complete the Interest Survey with Career Paths → Student as already done.
2. Check academic verification status
   • Go to Learn profile settings (Certification Profile / Account Management section) and review linked accounts.
   • If academic verification is successful, the student status or institutional email (for example, a university domain) appears as a linked account.
3. Confirm discount during exam registration
   • Go to any certification exam page and select Schedule exam.
   • On the Certification Profile page, check that the job title area shows something like Student – Verified.
   • If it shows only “Student” and not “Verified,” the registration flow should prompt for additional verification (for example, school email or documentation such as a student ID). Follow the on‑screen steps there to upload or provide proof.
4. If upload or verification does not appear
   • If there is no prompt to upload a university ID or complete verification, or the status never changes to verified, contact Credentials Support for help with the academic verification process and student discounts: Credentials Support.

Once the student status is verified, the academic discount is automatically applied at checkout when registering for an exam.
