Hello, I am currently building a community website that only accept the student from my campus. What I’m trying to do is to customize the email format of the registration form. Every student in my campus has one’s own email address that is identified by student id. So, I would like to receive only the student id and I can send confirmation email to the student without knowing the whole address (and also great to defend spammers).

I used to be a express/nodejs developer and new to the ruby on rails framework (interested in learning emberJS though). Is it possible to change the form by changing source code? Or this kind of approach is entirely prohibited/impossible? Thank you!!
