However, for those students who are asked to 'verify' it's very important that the student name and school name are accurate.

At this time, not all of your students may be asked to 'verify', and they can proceed directly to step 3. Please note that Autodesk is currently running a pilot with a 3rd party verification services provider, SheerID, to determine customers' eligibility to receive an education license. This will then auto-populate a form, where your students should check their details are correctly recorded and then click the 'verify' button. Step 2: Have them complete their email address, date of birth, school name, enrolment and graduation dates. Step 1: Ask your students to create an Autodesk account from the education page for Fusion 360. Here's some help to quickly get your students up and running with an education license for Fusion 360.

Autodesk is proud to provide free access to our professional products for students and educators in support of education and it's great to hear you've chosen Fusion 360 to teach your students how to design and 3D print parts. In 2 months when I get a new group of 120 eighth graders I have no idea how I am going to get them all set up/validated. I am not sure why his school email is no longer sufficient.

Last week I had a new student join my class and now Autodesk requires proof that he is a student. Unfortunately an already tedious process got worse. While that process might not sound difficult- try doing with 20 eighth graders at a time. You would get that same message whether regardless of whether you went back to the site to 'get access'. Usually a day or 2 later their accounts would work. After that they would go back to Fusion and click 'continue' which would prompt the message: 'Your registration is being processed'. After a few times through the process I discovered that you have to back to the Autodesk site and click 'sign in' and then 'get access'. After all of the that they would have 30 days to use the software. For the last 3 years I would have every student create an account, they would enter their school email address, dob, school, enrollment date, graduation date, etc. It has become a love/hate relationship with Fusion due to setting up the students' accounts. I am a middle school teacher who teaches every 8th grader in our school (300 kids a year) how to design and 3D prints parts with Fusion.
