Cannot Sign Up for Apple Music Student - "There was a problem verifying you as a student"

I tried to sign up for Apple Music Student and am verified as a student through UNIDAYS. When I sign up for Apple Music Student on either my Iphone or through Itunes, I get to the last step where a red button states, "Start Student Membership", and when I click this button, I get a dialog box (attached) which states that I could not be verified as a student and to contact UNIDAYS. I have contacted both Apple and UNIDAYS and neither have been able to help. Apple says it is a UNIDAYS issue, and UNIDAYS cannot even understand what I am trying to explain, and they do not have a phone number to contact so I use their (useless) email support system. Is anyone else having this issue? Help would be much appreciated!User uploaded fileUser uploaded fileUser uploaded file

Hey

It might be because of the fact that either the Student Membership is not supported in your country or that in order to avail the Membership, you need to be connected to your University WiFi.

Here, you can check the Availability details here.

Based on the date showing on the UNiDAYS screenshot, it looks like you may have just registered today? I am not sure how this process works, but it wouldn't hurt to wait 24 hours and try again.


Also, want to make sure you have seen this support article and followed all of the steps:

I'm not sure if this will help since the error that I got was just "There was a problem verifying that you are a student".


However I found that If I registered through my phone instead of my computer my problem went away.

So I guess try registering from different devices if you get this problem?
