How long after registering for a college does one receive a school email address (if you sign up for fall)?

Question

I'm a junior in high school and I'm looking into flying to Europe next summer. I found a website (www.studentuniverse.com) that allows college students to buy cheaper tickets; however, in order to register you need a school email address. I want to know if it will be possible for me to buy these tickets next year sometime in the spring.

Answer 1

Most schools have the system automated on a website, such that you enter your student id# once you've been admitted and voila, you get your student email address. At other schools you may have to visit the office in person to get the email.

Answer 2

In the UK you will receive your student email address once you have enrolled onto that course. This happens that day you start your course e.g 16th September.

Until you enrol you are not officially part of the Unviersity even thought you have accepted their offer.
