Mapping a school to an email address
Expand Post ??
Suppose that I have a login page where users need to enter their email addresses. The email addresses will only have a .edu domain name extension.
I was wondering if there was a way for me to figure out what college the user went to based on his/her email address? I know the manual way is to simply copy/paste the ending of their email address. For example: Jsmith10@mit.edu – I would manually type the ‘mit.edu’ into the URL address bar and figure out what school it is.
However, this is very arduous, and there are 2000 colleges in the USA. I’m more interested in a user experience like this:
EMAIL:
user types in “mary_fuller@emsc.edu”
COLLEGE: populates automatically with: Eastern Mississippi State College
