Cursor for Students: UK education email

Describe the Bug

Cursor is now free for students, but it seems UK education email address (.ac.uk) is not accepted because they do not end with .edu. After I connected my email, it says: Your email cannot be used for student verification. Please log in with a valid “.edu” university email to verify your student status.

Steps to Reproduce

Connect an UK education email address ending with .ac.uk, and go to page Cursor for Students | Cursor - The AI Code Editor

Operating System

Linux

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

all versions all versions

Does this stop you from using Cursor

I also have this issue. I got an automated email saying I had to reply back from an edu address, which is not used by UK universities.
