What email address will Adobe use to verify a school email address?

I am in the process of creating an enterprise account to be able to purchase the Adobe software with my school email address (a different account to this one) but the school administration has a block in place on the school email meaning that all external emails don't get through. Therefore I am unable to verify my account and buy Adobe products. I have spoken to them and they have said they will be able to allow emails through for a specific email address if I can tell them which one will be used. I was just wondering if anyone knows which email address Adobe will use to verify a school email address for an enterprise account as I can't seem to find out anywhere. Thanks

Are you purchasing a "personal" membership and want to avail a Student discount?

If yes, I'd suggest that you use a "personal" email address such as gmail. You can also use connected accounts such as Facebook, Apple ID, or Google. This will ensure that you'll  retain this account after you graduate, hopefully for life :-), and you'll keep control of all assets and files in your account etc. If you use the "school" provided email, you may have to make changes if you don't have access to the email after graduation. You'll however, need to submit some documents that prove that you're a student to continue to avail any Student discounted pricing. https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/graduation-education-discount-expiry.html

 

"Enterprise" accounts are created by the Admin of your organization or school. And it's usually the Admin who provides access to Adobe products and services. Individual users don't need to purchase plans individually; the org or school purchases them in bulk and then the Admin assigns them to individual users.

Ah ok yes I'm trying to get a personal account and get the student discount, however I'm still a bit confused. So do you recommend that I use a personal email address and have my school email address as a connected account or to use my personal account and provide some sort of proof I belong to a school? If so, what kind of thing specifically counts as proof?

Many thanks
