Student discounts are like cheat codes in real life; the offers and freebies you get in these are just insane. In my college days, a student ID did not mean that much, but now with major brands offering such lucrative discounts on almost all thier products, having a student email ID is a blessing. Recently, Google announced one of the best deals for students, according to which any student with a valid student email ID will be able to get 12 months of the AI Pro plan for free. Now, I also want this deal for myself, sadly, my student phase ended a couple of years back, and I do not have a way to create my own student email ID, or do I? So, in this article, I will be sharing with you how you can also create a student email ID of your own without being a student at all.

Edu Email Without Being a Student?

Generating an Edu mail without being a student can be tricky, though there are ways to do it, but you should not use any shady or fake generators. Now, there are ways with which you can get an Edu email ID, the best of which is to enroll in a community college. The other methods include an alumni Edu email and a temporary Edu email generator. These methods do not guarantee a perfect solution, but are the closest solution you can get. So, try them all before dismissing the idea.

Method 1: Look for an Alumni Edu Email

Yes, Alumni Edu email is a legit thing; you may have it. Simply go back to your old Edu email and check if it is deactivated, then you need to contact your college and ask for your alumni Edu email. Many colleges also provide staff Edu emails, which are similar to alumni Edu emails and can be accessed even though you do not work at that particular establishment anymore. You generally get updates regarding college events and activities.

You can ask your college’s Alumni Relations Office to provide you with an alumni Edu email if you do not have one. If you have a knack for teaching, you could also offer to be a visiting scholar at any college and get an email that way.

Method 2: E-Temp Mail

This particular method involves using an online temporary email generator. Now, before you start this specific website, it provides temporary Edu emails. Furthermore, you can extend the duration of these temporary emails and also gain recovery codes for the temporary email you used. Here is how you can generate your own.

1. Visit the eTempMail official website.

2. Once you are on the website, copy the generated email.

3. If you wish to extend the time of the temporary email, simply click on the Extend Time button.

You can use this temporary ID to sign up for student offers and claim discounts. Remember that once you close this tab, you won’t get access to the same temporary ID, so it can be difficult to recover this account if you somehow lose access to it.

Method 3: Community College

Community colleges are a great way to get an education. You can enroll in classes at any community college, and even if you don’t take those classes, you will still end up with an Edu email of your own. You can simply opt for online classes, so you do not have to visit college as well.
