Add and verify your school email

Verifying a school email links your account to your institution, so you can see and join your school's groups. Latte only uses it to confirm your affiliation.

Before you start

Have your school email address handy — you'll need to open your inbox for a verification code.

  1. Click Profile in the navigation to open your profile page.

  2. In the Preferences panel, find Verified emails and click Add a school email.

    {
  "id": "web.profile-and-friends.verify-your-school-email.verified-emails-list",
  "platform": "web",
  "route": "/users/me",
  "actions": [
    {
      "pom": {
        "page": "FriendsPage",
        "call": "open"
      }
    },
    {
      "assertVisible": {
        "text": "Add a school email"
      }
    }
  ]
}

  3. In the Verify a school email dialog, enter your school email address. Latte shows the school it recognizes. Click Confirm.

      "pom": {

        "call": "open"
      }
    },
    {
      "click": {
        "text": "Add a school email"
      }
    },
    {
      "fill": {
        "selector": "input[type=email]",
        "value": "student@epfl.ch"
      }
    }
  ],
  "clip": {
    "selector": "[role=dialog]",
    "pad": 16
  }
}

  4. Check your inbox for the verification code, type it in, and Latte confirms the email is verified.

tip

If the code doesn't arrive, check your spam folder or request a new one. You can verify more than one school email — each verified address appears in your Verified emails list.
