Sign-up and institution registration

This page covers the one-time setup process for an educational organization. By signing up for an account and then registering your educational organization for verification, you establish your verified Samsung Account for Education account, enabling you to invite users, manage settings, and unlock the full range of Samsung Account for Education features.

Sign up for an account

Signing up for Samsung Account for Education establishes your administrator account and captures your educational organization’s essential information, including organization name, type, location, and contact details. This foundational step creates your identity within the Samsung education ecosystem and prepares your educational organization for verification.

After signing up for an account, you’ll complete the second step by registering your educational organization to verify its legitimacy. Once verified, you can invite users, manage organization settings, and access the full range of Samsung Account for Education services.

Step 1: Create your account

1. Navigate to the Samsung Account for Education console and click Create an account.

2. Under Educational institution information, fill in all required fields:

   • Country or region of institution — Select the country or region where your educational institution is located.
   • Institution type — Select one of the following options depending on the type of institution you represent:

4. Click Next to proceed to verify your identity.

Step 3: Verify your identity

1. Under Verify your identity, click Send code. The code is sent to you email and expires after 30 minutes.

3. Click Verify.

If you don’t receive a verification code, or if your code has expired, click Resend code to request a new one.

If your email domain is already associated with an existing Samsung Account for Education account — which happens when another admin has already registered and verified your educational institution – you will see a Domain already registered page with two options:

Contact Samsung support if you believe your domain was used by an unauthorized organization.

Step 4: Review and accept agreements

1. Under Review agreements, select the Terms and Conditions and Data Processing Agreement checkboxes.
2. Click Agree.

Step 5: Account created

A welcome email is sent to your email address. The portal displays an Account created confirmation page.

Register your institution for verification

After signing up for your account, you must register your educational institution within 30 days for verification. Your registration is considered incomplete until you register your institution, and it is verified by Samsung. Your registration is considered incomplete until your institution has been verified.

Submit institution registration

1. From the Account created page, click Register now.
2. On the Review educational institution details page, verify all information.
3. Click Submit registration.

You’ll receive an email notifying you that your registration request is submitted.

Verification process

You receive an email notification when your institution is verified, typically within 3 to 5 business days. If your registration is rejected, resolve the issues in the original request and resubmit it within 15 days.

After your institution is verified and you have set up a domain:

• You can start inviting other users.
• Other admins who are signing up independently can select the Request account option while verifying their identity to be added to your domain.
