Updated 2022 Method: (Method 1) For FREE Edu Email
Getting emails in 2022 seems to be difficult but still, there are few universities that are providing the edu emails. Just follow the article and you will get the .edu email at the end of the article

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.
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.
Go to this link to register for Illinois Central College.
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.
- After filling in all the details click on Next Step
- 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.)
- 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 phone number enter any random number or you can use VOIP numbers from sites like text now and Twilio.
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 follow the answers as mentioned in this article.)
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. )
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.
- After filling 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 you 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 the reply from the university.
