Create your tenant
Follow these steps to set up an Office 365 Education verified tenant if you don't already have one.
Verify academic eligibility for Microsoft Education subscriptions.
Navigate to the Office 365 Education Plans page.
Select the blue Get Started button.
Add your verified e-mail and sign up.
Select Sign up.
Note
For education scenarios:
- Setup of your organization tenant is needed to start your tenant successfully.
Add domains
After you created your tenant, add each of the domains for your organization using these instructions for each domain you want to add. You don't need to create a tenant account for each domain. You can have a single tenant account with multiple domains.
Note
For education scenarios:
- You cannot use the same root domain in another tenant
- Child/sub domains can be added
- Exchange MX records can point outside to other services
Recommendation – If possible, add a small number of domains. For education, enabling a single domain for teachers and a single domain for students works well. Each domain added is intended to be associated to the UserPrincipalName and Email Address of the users in your directory. If you have domains from an on-premises Active Directory that aren't being used, you don't need to add them to your Office 365 tenant.
