I'd start with searching it in my MathWorks account. There is a link on the top right of this page to access the account. If MathWorks provides a serial number, it should be found there.

If you still do not find it, use the "Contact Us" to contact MathWorks directly. This is the public forum only and most contributions are provided by voluntary Matlab users. But some of the threads are written by the technical support, then it might be useful to search in the forum, or e.g. ask your favorite internet search engine e.g. for "Matlab student serial number". Wait, let me google this for you... voilà:

Hi Shyam:

You probably received an activation key instead of a serial number. Try following the steps in this MATLAB Answers post to manually activate your installation.
