help with creating email...

<p>i'm an intl student from Canada and got this as a msg while trying to get my email..</p>

<p>"All students without US Social
Security numbers are assigned a nine-digit ID number by
their admissions office, and this is the number you need
to use in the place of an SSN. If you don't know what
this number is, you should contact your admissions
office. (The number is NOT the one that starts with
"C.")"</p>

<p>does anyone else have similar problems? and how did you deal with it.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>does anyone know where i can get this ID number that's been provided?</p>

<p>they send it in the mail (snail mail)</p>

<p>thanks
do you have any idea when it should have arrived or when it was sent?</p>

<p>They send the SSN by snail mail too? I've just received the AcIS mailing (10 days late), yet I can't even access it yet. This is really inconvenient, as I'm moving provinces soon.</p>
