I admit, I'm not well-versed on the build system, but my impression was that specifying --prefix in ./configure was indeed supposed to propagate to a subsequent make and make install. However, you may wish to attempt the following to be sure:
$ make PREFIX=/usr/users/students/ak4390/.local
$ make install PREFIX=/usr/users/students/ak4390/.local
