<p>Does anybody know how long it takes for BC to give you an email account. I sent my deposit two days ago, and I wasn’t sure how long it took.
Thanks,
Son</p>
<p>you don't even need to send in your deposit to get it. </p>
<p>If you go to your agora account, you can find it there, and set it so it forwards your email to your present address until your bc mail box is created. </p>
<p>From what I can gather, your address is your last name + the first two letters of your first name @bc.edu. I think. That's what mine is, anyway.</p>
<p>Thanks, now I have my email address, but how do i access it? I am so confused.</p>
<p>emails cannot be accessed until may when they have you put down as a student. That's what they told me when I emailed them. =)</p>
<p>okay, i was looking at other people's addresses, and i think your email address is actually the first 6 letters of your last name + the first letter of your first name +the first letter of your middle name @bc.edu</p>
<p>I'm still not sure about this. I thought it was the other way because my last name is only three letters long. </p>
<p>either way, it should list it on AGORA. </p>
<p>From there, there should be an option that says "create/update forwarding email". it should have your present email address in it. </p>
<p>i don't know if this actually creates your bc address, but i can only assume it does because i started my facebook with it, and it forwarded the confirmation email to my present address.</p>
<p>Pongo, do you know how long it takes for the facebook account to be activated? I used my <a href="mailto:kohlis@bc.edu">kohlis@bc.edu</a> address to register for facebook, and i got a thing saying that they I had to confirm. I don't know how to confirm, because my bc email hasn't been forwarding to my current email.</p>
<p>wait janech, so i can't have my facebook yet?</p>
<p>ShopGirL, you CAN have your facebook account now; about 100 or so of us 2010ers are already on there. =)</p>
<p>Here's the thing. You cannot ACCESS the actual BC email itself if you went to mail.bc.edu ... until May but you can foward everything that enters into that box into another existing email of yours that you CAN access (as you have already figured out since you said you fowarded).</p>
<p>Just in case you have not fowarded it though - you can find the "create/foward email" button on your Agora account. If this does not work try fowarding to another email and if that doesn't work email <a href="mailto:help.center@bc.edu">help.center@bc.edu</a>. They are pretty quick with their replies.</p>
<p>And it should only take like less than ten minutes for the email to get to your box and only a couple of seconds after you click the activation link for your facebook account to be activated!</p>
<p>Goodluck! =)</p>
<p>okay thanks for everyone's help, but something isn't right, because i still don't have a facebook, and i'm dying to have one. I have a high school one, but i want a BC one BADLY.
okay, my email is definately <a href="mailto:kohlis@bc.edu">kohlis@bc.edu</a>, because i sent an email from my one email address to <a href="mailto:kohlis@bc.edu">kohlis@bc.edu</a>, and i didn't get a mailerdeamon thing. Also, some of my emails that are sent to my email address are forwarding to my other email address. I sent an email from my mom's email to <a href="mailto:kohlis@bc.edu">kohlis@bc.edu</a>, and shortly after i got an email at <a href="mailto:Skohli88@aol.com">Skohli88@aol.com</a><a href="My%20other%20email%20address">/email</a> with the same message, so i am assume that my bc account is forwarding to <a href="mailto:skohli88@aol.com">skohli88@aol.com</a>.<br>
So i registered for facebook, giving them my <a href="mailto:kohlis@bc.edu">kohlis@bc.edu</a> email address, which i know is my actual email address, and I know that it forwards. Now, does anyone know of a reason why i haven't gotten my facebook confirmation? I am terrible with computers, so I would not know any of this emailing stuff, but i badly want a faceboooook so any more help would be great!
Son</p>
<p>wait it out a bit and see if you get the activation confirmation.</p>
<p>Since I still don't have my BC facebook ( so upset!), would it be okay if I facebooked (not a verb, i know) any of you. If I could have your name that you use on facebook, that would be great.
my name is Sonia Kohli, and since i still have a high school facebook, my school is Hilton Head Prep Academy. </p>
<p>Thanks,
Son</p>
<p>I just 'freinded' you.</p>
<p>Thanks so much everyone. I finally got my facebook!
Feel free to facebook me.
Son!</p>
<p>how do you get an agora/email account??? does it come with the acceptance packet, or a separate piece of mail? i've been so disogranized with all of my college mail... i can't find anything :[</p>
<p>i think it came in the acceptance package, right?</p>
<p>hmm, greentea, i don't remember if it came in the acceptance packet. I know there was an email where you were supposed to get it, but i lost that email. I called BC, and got my username and password for Agora. From there, i created my email</p>
<p>Son</p>
<p>oooh wait i just found something in my acceptance packet... "boston college eagle ID#" and "boston college username". so where do i go to log on and stuff??? and it also says "the first time you log into AGORA, you will be prompted to change your password." but i dont think they gave me a password.. i am so losttt</p>

<p>This was in a email I got from BC a few days ago:
Your new BC email account is active as of Monday, May 8. Your account will be your username directly followed by @bc.edu (for example, <a href="mailto:username@bc.edu">username@bc.edu</a>). We recommend that you begin to review and use this account on a regular basis as it will be the primary way the University will contact you. Your email account is accessible through agora.bc.edu.</p>
<p>Does the above mean that our agora username is our email address? is there some way to make our own individualized email address at bc? thanks.</p>
