I just signed up to the "free for individual students and educators" plan using an .ac.uk domain (the UK equivalent of the US' .edu). Perhaps your problem is more of an edge case? What is the TLD you are trying to use?
- ThePadawan 5y ago(not parent) AFAIK .edu is used by pretty much all US universities, and very few outside the us. I went to a university that does have a .edu domain (ethz.ch is aliased as eth.edu), but that was a completely undocumented feature. You just had to be in-the-know.
- bnj 5y agoIt looks like I was wrong to assume that it was tied to the .edu domain name -- I thought notion was using that as a way to avoid pouring resources into verifying eligibility. My wider point is that it's disingenuous to have a bold heading [0] "Free for individual students and educators", and then in the FAQ lower on the page state: "You're not eligible if...you're a k-12 student or k-12 educator"[0] [0]: https://www.notion.so/product/notion-for-education https://www.notion.so/product/notion-for-education
- quenix 5y agoOh. I thought your point was that their inclusion criteria were too narrow (.edu only) and as such did not include all universities. I remember this wording irritating me when I was a k-12 student myself. I would get excited at "Free for students!" headings and then be disappointed when the discounts were in fact for higher education only. It's misleading, really.
