2nd method (Method 2)

Here is another working method for 2022 to get a free Edu email. This method was shared by our telegram member 🙂 We are proud to have such users who share such HQ methods/ techniques with us. This method for getting a .edu email is really easy and you can get the email within 3 days. (Because of this COVID situation the time for processing the application may vary so it may take some time.)

Without any delay, let’s move into the topic.

1. First, connect to US IP. You can use any paid as well as free VPNs to do so. For writing this article I am using Express VPN.
2. Go to this link to register for Illinois Central College.
3. You will see different details to input in the field. You can get the details to enter from the OLD METHOD part. Get all the details and enter as asked.
   Note: The age of the student should be more than 21 years. Keep in mind while entering these details.
4.  After filling in all the details click on Next Step
5. For address, you can use any US address. (For better results you can use the Illinois address. In this article we are going to use the address of Florida just to show any address will work.)
6. It asks for some details like phone number and email. For email enter your own email to which you have access. It sends all the Edu email details in the email you mentioned so it’s better to use your own primary email. In place of a phone number enter any random number or you can use VOIP numbers from sites like text now and Twilio.
7. After filling in all the details click on Next Step. It will ask some general questions. you can use the random answers or select the answers from the old method. (We suggest using the answers from the old method or following the answers as mentioned in this article.)

   

   

8. After this step, the Academic part is very important. You have to be more careful which you select. Selecting anything wrong may result in rejection and you won’t get the .edu email. If you didn’t get the edu email on the first try you have to change the program and apply again. You can change the time for joining the class as well. (For the example I have used the random course, it is not sure that you will get Edu email from the course I mentioned. )
9. Select any university and the graduation year your like.
   Note: Don’t put the gap of more than one 1year from your applying date to your graduation date.
10.  After filling in all of these details you are at the end of the process. Now just select the “I certify …..” And click on Submit. It will as you to confirm again your submission just confirm again by clicking on “Submit the article”

That’s all for this method. You have successfully applied for the Illinois Central College. Now the only thing you have to do is wait for a reply from the university. We received the reply within 3 days from the University and successfully got the free Edu email address on the 3rd day. Hope you will also get the same from the university.

Method 5 (Method 5)

The sixth method is the Fortscott University method. During COVID they are not providing the edu email as their registration system must be closed. But after the cases of COVID are decreased you can apply to this university. The email from this university is working everywhere and it’s easy to create. It may take up to one 1week for the university to get a response.

Not sure either they are providing at this moment but they will start distributing the Edu email soon for sure. If you are reading this article other than 2022 you can give this a try you may get the edu email. For this email, I have attached the video feel free to watch the video :).

FAQ for the edu email

•  Is using the Edu email from this method legal?

Ans: We won’t say that creating the Edu email this way is totally legal. But doing so is also not totally wrong. So it is somewhere between legal and illegal.

• Can we get Github students to benefit from these emails?

Yes, you can get Github student benefits from an Edu email. But for many to get free .edu email or Edu email you have created from some methods as we have shared; GitHub may ask for the verification. For such verification, you have to submit the student card associated with the .edu email. As we don’t have such cards the request may be rejected.

• Does that mean we can’t get GitHub students ourselves?

If you wanted to get the GitHub student pack only then you can do that without the edu email only. Yes, you heard this right you can get the GitHub student for free without any .edu email. For this register to GitHub using your Gmail account. Go to the student benefit portal and apply for it. It asks for your academic proof (for this you can submit your 11th or 12th grade admit card, identity card, or mark sheet/transcript). Note, The name of such documents should match with the name of the GitHub account that you created and the Gmail account you created.

Still worrying because you don’t have the transcript and all stuff. We have already shared this stuff on our telegram channel you can get it from there.

•  I created the edu email but my friend purchases the .edu email from a seller. What is the difference between them?

No there is no difference between such accounts. The seller also creates an account like the method we mentioned above. You can get different scripts online for mass-creating the email or you can create your own scripts to create a mass account using python. (which we strongly discourage because it will spam the method and the university will stop providing the emails at email login .)

If you don’t have much time for creating emails and want many emails then we have you covered. We have mentioned the shop link at the top of this article.

•  I tried all the methods but none of them are working?

If you tried all of the mentioned methods and failed to create the account then don’t get panic and don’t do the hate comment. Just let us know if all the mentioned methods are not working. We will work and come out with a new method.

•  I got the edu email. For how many years will it work?

The answer to the questions depends on the universities. Some media accounts may work for about 4 years while some may expire after 6 months.

•  What are the benefits of free .edu email?

1. Free .tech domains or any domains from name.com
2. Free amazon prime account for six months
3. Github student developer pack
