How to access Auth Code (EPP) for transferring domain name from web hosting for students

Hello,

Trying to figure out how to get ahold of the auth code or EPP for my domain registered with web hosting for students. I just want to transfer my domain name.

Did you ever figure this out. Having the same issue.

No. I ended up changing my domain registration over to Namecheap because I couldnt get the flexibility I needed from web hosting for students. Every time I needed something like the Auth code I needed to contact support, and they have a ticket system so I felt like I was wasting alot of time trying to get basic stuff done.

Treehouse: In your tutorial videos where you recommend web hosting for students you might want to mention that they lack customization options in some instances. That could have saved me alot of headache.
