Is there ways to attain student .edu email information?

Loading...

Our start-up company wants to focus only on college students to use our mobile application. Our method of seeing if the person is a college student would be through them signing up with their .edu account.

We are stuck on how we can attain these email addresses as we expand to different schools

Hi there,
If I understand correctly, you want a definitive list of .edu domain names to compare users against to automatically approve them for your service?

The most authoritative list would be held by Educause - http://net.educause.edu/edudomain/index.asp but you won't necessarily be given the list. I would try dropping them an email anyway.

In the meantime, here are two other sources (but likely incomplete) that you could use.

If you'd like to discuss more, please schedule a call!
Best,
Neil
