Not only that. But when I was a student and I live in a third world country where college won't give you an email address. GitHub was more than happy to accept my student certificate.

We can barely make the administration handle our real absolutely necessary stuff. There are a lot of motivated students in my country and others that love this kind of things and if you are requiring the intervention of institution for setup, you might just not have offered it in the first place.
