 FAQs

This program is strictly intended for educational purposes—primarily to support faculty teaching, student learning, and academic research in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Azure Dev Tools for Teaching is not available for staff or faculty for infrastructure or administrative use.

Faculty can use the tools to develop coursework, but IT staff cannot use them for managing campus infrastructure, administration, or non-academic projects.

For infrastructure-related Azure services, your department would need a separate Azure subscription through standard licensing agreements with Microsoft.
