Is there a way to verify that our entry is entered into the student contest? I changed my user email to my university one, but am worried that something may go awry given that I originally registered my account with a non-university email.

Thanks!

Hi Kyle. As long as your account is changed to a university email you are all set. To verify, can you send me an email at [email protected] with the school email? I will double check that the change went through. Thanks!
