Hi Cursor Team, I’m from Bangladesh, and at our universities, we typically do not receive `.edu` domain emails. Instead, my university has provided me with an institutional email address in the format: `student_id@uttara.ac.bd`. I understand that many academic services and student verifications often rely on `.edu` emails, but in our region, `.ac.bd` is the official domain for accredited academic institutions. I wanted to check if it’s possible to use my university-provided `@uttara.ac.bd` email for verification or student-related benefits on Cursor. It is a legitimate academic email, and I can provide any necessary proof if needed. Looking forward to your guidance on this! Best regards, Harun Biswas Rubel Student – Uttara University ---

Plus, there are many schools that don’t even provide student email addresses, so that’s a limitation IMHO ---
