<p>If you click on the help link for the ID field, it says something about a "SIS" prefix. Ignore it. It worked fine for me using what I got on my bill.</p>

<p>Also, READ ALL THE POLICIES they show you. They're important.</p>

<p>"Also, READ ALL THE POLICIES they show you. They're important."</p>

<p>LOL</p>

<p>Though, to be fair, I did read them, but only because of a healthy case of OCD.</p>

23

<p>what does the "SI" after the dash on all sections of the bill like meal plans and such mean?</p>

24

<p>YES. FINALLY. </p>

<p>It also shows your mailing address, which I think is pretty cool. </p>

<p>And this is def. the right way to set it up- if the ID weren't right, then it wouldn't have known my first and middle names.</p>

25

<p>Oh dear, I am lazy and didn't read the policies. Anything out of the ordinary that someone wants to give me the reader's digest version on?</p>

26

<p>Don't do bad things - that's about the gist of it.</p>

27

<p>Pornography considered bad at Brown?</p>

28

<p>LOL, as if.</p>

29

<p>Brown doesn't care about pornography. The only thing Brown doesn't want you to do is violate copyright/spy/steal/etc. That's a really good thing for all the guys out there (myself included)... haha.</p>

30

<p>I don't quite understand. Can we still use illegal share software if we don't use a brown email address when we sign up for said software programs...? I need my free music. And I heard somewhere that there is a way to see who your roommate is through your Brown email....? Has anyone heard of this? And...lol, did anyone else freak out when you got the bill with your Brown id - as in not immediately knowing that the financial aid is not really calculated in the bill we most recently received. For 2 minutes of sincere panic I thought Brown was expecting me to pay $26,000.</p>

31

<p>Don't worry too much about what software is on your computers, so long as stuff like Bittorrent clients and Kazaa and the like aren't running 24/7. Basically just don't do A LOT of downloading or uploading, although in a perfect world, CIS wouldn't even want even a little bit.</p>

<p>Also, Once you have your email set up, you can get sweet deals from Cingular.

32

<p>Um...my user name is the part right before the "brown.edu", right? Oh and...I forgot my password. D'oh.</p>

33

<p>They give you two user IDs, and sometimes gets confusing. The NetID is the one with the _ in it. That's your email username. The AuthID (i think) is the shorter one.</p>

Holy</a> crap, I had no idea about this! I just used this to get 50% off for a leather pouch and bluetooth headset for my razr. Awesome.</p>

<p>Do you know of any other businesses where we get student discounts?</p>

35

<p>How long does it take to get into email once you set up your account?</p>

36

<p>The thing with the illegal music stuff is that Brown doesn't actively monitor it. Brown will, however, take action if it is brought to their attention by the authorities (the chances of which are slim).</p>

37

<p>can anyone tell me who has to be contacted if you want your id to set up your email...i'm a deferred student and i don't think i'll be getting my id this year but i want to ask anyway...
thanks.</p>

38

<p>I still haven't received the student account bill, should I be calling Brown?</p>

39

<p>You might want to, since it's due in a few weeks.</p>
