How Can I Get Access to an Edu Email?

I'm trying to access an .edu email address, specifically since I want to use this deal.

I'm a Monash alumni, previously went to Swinburne also. I don't see any way to access an .edu email address.

Any suggestions?

I saw some threads about certain short courses that'll give an .edu, but they are expired.

      You could have children. A bit of a wait until they get an .edu account though. Play the long game!

    UTAS Diploma of Sustainable Living still has 100% scholarship which means it's free (the government pays UTAS still)

    Could even post as a deal like this for updoots https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/788663

    Call up Swinburne and tell them you need access to your old emails for reports etc.
    They'll unlock it for a short time

    • That's a solid idea, thanks for that.

    As a Swinburne alumni, you have an email for life.

      I tried this, strangely when I try to register it just says 'Error: Authentication failed. Make sure you are entering your Student ID Number and Date of Birth in the correct format'. May be necessary for me to contact them.

      • The same thing is happening for me. Please post back here if you are able to get anywhere with them.

          Thanks. I emailed their service desk and apparently they can help with getting temp access to my email. Maybe then I'd try your linked service also.

          • @Aidan9800: I'm a current student, and registering is not working for me, so having a current Swinburne email isn't enough to get an alumni address. Please keep digging!

        • Tried and also got authentication error.

  • There was a thread about this already…

    • Except either none of the solutions work for me/they have expired, and there may be new solutions

  • Date or marry a teacher or a student haha

    • Or the parent of a student… umm …

  • Just ask any student. Shout them a beer and I’m sure they won’t mind to receive couple emails for ya

    Sign up for a course then withdraw before census date.

      Won't they revoke your e-mail access if you don't follow through?

        They will

      • It will still work if you just need it to sign up.
