Windows 10: Bitlocker recovery key via email

I'm currently locked out of windows because bitlocker requires a recovery key. I have logged into my windows account and gave the proper information to receive a key via my Gmail account but nothing has been emailed. I have repeated the process numerous times without success. How do I get the key if the process is not working?

Bitlocker Recovery Key with university email

I used a university email to sign into Windows 10 on my personal device and needed to take the laptop to a repair shop. They needed the Bitlocker recovery key to get out of a repair loop, but when I signed in with the Azure account, it signs me in, and
lists the device, but there is no bitlocker key on the website. I contacted my university IT department and they told me to contact Microsoft because they do not keep bitlocker recovery keys for personal devices. I couldn't find a support page or number on
the bitlocker page so I am coming here for any help possible. Thank you.
