Unable to create Resource on Azure for Students - Policy Violation RequestDisallowedByAzure

I am using an Azure for Students subscription associated with my college email. I am attempting to create a standard Storage Account (LRS, Standard performance) to use with an Azure Function project, but the deployment fails during the validation phase.

The Error: "code": "RequestDisallowedByAzure" "message": "Resource 'ordersstore123' was disallowed by Azure: This policy maintains a set of best available regions where your subscription can deploy resources."

What I've tried:

Switching regions from East US to West US 2 and North Europe.

Creating a new Resource Group in the same region as the resource.

Ensuring I am using the Locally-redundant storage (LRS) setting to stay within student tier limits.

Azure Blob Storage
Azure Blob Storage

An Azure service that stores unstructured data in the cloud as blobs.

    Hello MEET SHAH

    This policy is automatically applied to Azure for Students subscriptions and restricts which regions you are allowed to deploy resources to. The allowed region list is:

    • Very limited
    • Different per student subscription
    • Not necessarily the common regions (East US, West US, West Europe, etc.)

    Because the selected region is not in your subscription’s allowed list, Azure denies the request during validation, resulting in RequestDisallowedByAzure

    NOTE: Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person.

    Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

    https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

    Look for an assignment similar to "Allowed resource deployment regions" or "Allowed locations", or something with location as part of the name. Click on this assignment, and then examine the Parameter value for list of regions.

    If the error doesn't show the Allowed regions, you can follow this path to see the allowed regions: Azure Portal → Subscriptions → Policies → “Allowed locations”
