What is a @studee.io email?
- When students use Studee to find and apply to a university, we provide them with a personal @studee.io email that is unique to them and their application.
- This system streamlines communication between the student, the university, and Studee. When a university contacts a student through their @studee.io email address, the message is automatically forwarded to the student and copied to us.
- The @studee.io email is created and managed by Studee on behalf of the student, with the student's full consent. The student retains full ownership of their personal email, and all communications are forwarded to this address, ensuring the student remains in control.
- This email is fully authorized by the student, is private and exclusive to them, and serves as another personal address. The address is solely for the student's use, is fully GDPR compliant, and no other student has access to it.
Why do we use @studee.io emails?
Many companies use pseudo or alias email addresses like our @studee.io emails (such as Indeed, eBay, and Apple). This facilitates secure communications between users and third parties.
At Studee, we're dedicated to providing efficient communication, transparency, security, and privacy for all of our users. This is just one of the processes we have in place to deliver this. We choose to use @studee.io emails because this allows us to:
- Ensure that students stay informed, never miss important information, and can respond promptly and directly to universities
- See where the student is at in their application journey
- Receive a copy of correspondence between students and universities so that we can monitor what communication has occurred on a 'per application' basis
- Manage and monitor communications effectively, and quickly resolve any issues
- Summarize key information provided by the university so that it is clear and concise for students
- Remind students of information requested by the university if they have not responded, and ensure deadlines are met
- Protect our users by preventing fraud, spam, phishing, or general misuse of our platform. When students and universities communicate with each other, they know that all correspondence is monitored by us and adheres to company policies
We make sure that the student's email is updated to their email address of choice once they enroll so that universities can remain in contact beyond the application process.
How @studee.io emails work: the nerdy stuff
- Students are assigned a unique @studee.io email when they apply to a university through Studee. Each application generates a distinct email address with a unique code to identify the student and their application.
- When a university contacts a student via their @studee.io email, our system identifies the intended recipient and forwards the message instantly to the student's inbox. This ensures they receive all the necessary information.
- Similarly, when a student responds, our system identifies who the email is from and which application it relates to, and forwards the message to the relevant university, maintaining secure communication on all sides.
Are students happy with this?
- Yes - when students submit an application through study, they explicitly consent to us creating and using a unique @studee.io email address on their behalf. This is exclusively used to communicate and submit a university application.
- The student has also authorized us to receive copies of all correspondence, including emails related to your application, sent to, or received from the university. Any emails sent to the @studee.io address are forwarded to the student's email.
- Students enter an agreement with us to share, access, and discuss details of their application, admission status, educational experience, and other relevant information from their educational records, with their chosen universities.
- In line with GDPR regulations, students have full control over which email address they choose to use throughout the application process. They can modify or withdraw their consent to use the @studee.io email at any time.
