  • Online Courses (edX, Coursera, etc.)
    A few mention that some schools or partner programs offer .edu emails when signing up for verified certificate programs.

  • Use “OpenCCC”
    Multiple users highlight that California Community Colleges use OpenCCC, and you can apply to many colleges through it easily. Some colleges don’t verify much and issue .edu emails quickly.


:hole: Greyhat/ULPT Tricks

  • Fiverr Sellers
    Users mention searching Fiverr for people offering .edu emails or SheerID verification services (though this is a paid and against-ToS trick).

  • Using Fake Details
    A few replies suggest trying random student info or generating fake enrollment letters to trick verification, but these methods are risky and possibly illegal.

  • Leverage Expired IDs / Old Logins
    Someone suggested using old or inactive .edu accounts or asking friends who were former students to help.


:thinking: Other Insights

  • SheerID Isn’t Very Strict
    One user notes SheerID often approves with just a student email, but sometimes asks for a class schedule or student ID card.

  • Student Beans & UNiDAYS
    These alternative verification platforms were mentioned as easier to bypass than SheerID in some cases.

  • Avoid University Systems
    Many say universities have stricter onboarding. Stick with community colleges—much easier and quicker.
