Unfortunate! I didn't realize this because I use a VPN as a matter of course. It is a bit silly that they allow international students but disallow international IPs.

To WCC's credit (or at least, whomever they've hired to do their IT), their website at least hints that they're blocking you due to your IP. A large number of universities and colleges are blocking foreign IP addresses, but not even giving you any indication of this, leaving you to wonder if it's a problem on your end.

It's really quite dismaying to see because you'd want education, of all things, to be universal and openly accessible. But this is the world we live in.
