Parents can pay. Students stay in control.
Check that your student's school email is supported, then sign up with your own email and pay for the plan. Your student connects their own school email and gets the alerts. You see whether protection is active. You don't see their email.
First, check that the student's school email is supported. You'll create your account with your own email after that.
You check support, then sign up and pay with your email.
Start by entering your student's school email so we can confirm support before you pay. When it's time to create the payer account, use your own email. Same plan and price whether a parent or a student pays.
You get a mailbox too, and we send your student an invite.
Your student connects their own Gmail or Microsoft 365 account through Google or Microsoft's official sign-in. You never see their password - neither do we. The plan includes 2 protected mailboxes, so you can also connect your own inbox at no extra cost and see how it works.
Your student gets the alerts. You see status.
When something important arrives - financial aid, registration hold, bursar notice - your student gets a text. You can see whether their seat is connected and active.
Email content is processed read-only and never stored. Alert summaries are visible only to the student who connected the account.
If you pay for someone else's account, you can see setup and service status, such as whether their mailbox is connected and whether protection is active. You cannot see their email, alerts, dashboard, or alert history.
Over time, we may add high-level usage metrics to help payers understand that the service is working. Those metrics will stay numerical and privacy-preserving. They will not include email content, sender names, subject lines, alert summaries, or the timing of specific alerts.
Schools send the warnings by email. Students don't live in email. The deadline gets missed, the hold appears, and the impact - financial, academic, stress - is often shared by the student and the family.
Email Cheat Code is the safety net. It surfaces the things that actually matter: financial aid documents needed, registration holds, bursar balances, housing deadlines, academic notices. It does not replace your student's judgment. It just makes sure they see the message in time to act.
College is often a team sport. Every family wants students to build independence and handle the day-to-day themselves. But when a missed email turns into a hold, a late fee, or a scramble with an office, the stress often spreads.
Email Cheat Code helps catch the important stuff earlier, so the family can spend less time on cleanup and more time on the good parts.
