There are lots of benefit if you have a .edu email address like some free giveaway as having .edu email address, Dropbox offer double referral storage to 500 MB etc, unfortunately .edu email address hard to get unless you are colleges student. If you find through internet and aim to get one free .edu email address, most of the method published on internet are invalid. Well i would like to share with you how to get a valid free .edu email address, you will not get lost and may need it in future.
Free .EDU Email Address
1.Visit https://eims.maricopa.edu/MAW/MAW.html,then select 「 I am a new student have never attended any Maricopa Community College or skill centers 」 and enter code and click NEXT.
2.Now you need to enter identity information, first you need an US identity. Visit fake name generator website if you’re come from outside US region. Remember create an US identity by click Generate button.
3.Key in all information. I will not describe more how to key in all this information, just follow all US identity created by fake name generator.
4.A MEID account created and website will show all MEID account information, please save and keep it in safe place. It may take up to 20 minutes before you are able log into your new email but as i tested it will take at least 60 minutes, please patient.
Login in .edu email address http://mail.google.com/a/maricopa.edu
I do not see how this is legal since you are giving false information, ie “I am a new student….)
AND
you are required to give your personal information such as
* 1National ID (SSN):
* 1Verify National ID (SSN):
* Date of Birth:
(mm-dd-yyyy)
* First Name
* Last Name:
Middle Name:
I am not comfortable doing this.
That why using fake name generator,you just need the .edu email address only.
Works great!
I have Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010. Had I known this earlier, I would have upgraded to the Professional Academic edition while the promo lasted. Now what other giveaways could I enter with this .edu address?
Thanks!
Not sure.
I found out that Connectify and PaperScan giveaway their Pro and Home license (respectively) for those who have .edu address.
MEGAthanx for sharing that!!! You rules!
Hey it worked, but it seems like a google email – Am I missing something. Was also wondering if this could get us some student discounts on MS software and other highend stuff? How do we get a student ID number and anything else a vendor might ask us for to recieved the discounts. This also being the first day of Googles private policy change, is there anything we should know or heed about google now?
It’s use Google apps to manage edu email.
Didn’t work for me :( After submit everything, there was no number to copy down or any email…..
Will it work if i’m outside EEUU? If the answer if no I’ll be very grateful if someone can create one for me, really I’m an medicine student in Spain, and I’ve a uma.es email, but unfortunately Microsoft and other promotions usually don’t know anything about this kind of ‘edu’ email accounts. (my email: ta ll y z90@g mail . com) without spaces :)
Thanks in advance!
Don’ts Work.

Invalid Access …
i really need this and thanks for these tricks…
I love your post about this free edu emai, and I really get one now. However, the dropbox seem not accept my domain name, is this maricopa domain name still work now for dropbox?
May Dropbox block it.
Works great! I’ve got my edu-mail for free.
BUT, guys, we have a problem. When I tried to confirm my new email in dropbox (admin edit) , i’ve received “Email doesn’t appear to be from an approved school” message. So I have a question. This opportunity already has closed, or domain Maricopa.edu is not added yet?
May dropbox already block it
Works great! I’ve got my edu-mail for free.
Worked for me. Have a edu address now.
However, Dropbox has already blacklisted Maricopa .edu addresses. So, no bonus to get there. But still, it might come in handy for other offers or discounts.
Maricopa emails are blocked by Dropbox
Blocked…
I just grabbed a fresh .edu email account but was not actually free since there is a 20.00 setup fee: academicdesigner.com/content/free-edu-email-account
I tried it out and got the Amazon and dropbox deals successfully. Have not tried out the other specials they listed.
Amazon has also blocked it,it doesn’t accept it as a valid student ID
tanx alot
Indeed. Seems that Dropbox had already blocked https://eims.maricopa.edu/MAW/MAW.html
???
Can someone else confirm this?
