InAcademia’s simple, fast and secure validation service replaces outdated verification methods such as:
- use of email addresses with an academic extension, such as ‘.ac.uk’ or ‘.edu’ to prove institutional affiliation and entitlement to academic services and discounts.
- manual processes that require the student to submit copies of hard copy documents, that create delays in signing up the customer and completing purchases (which can both result in lost sales as a a consequence)
This means that you can also verify students that are registered at their institutions with private email addresses and that are based in countries where institutional email addresses cannot be filtered by extension, such as The Netherlands.
