Official Northwestern email address?

<p>I just sent in my tuition deposit yesterday. Does anyone know how I now go about getting my official northwestern email address (i.e "first initial-last <a href="mailto:name@northwestern.edu">name@northwestern.edu</a>") ?? I already activated my "admit" email address but I was wondering if we could get the real one yet...</p>

<p>yea... they will send an email on the netID address or w/e. i got mine today.</p>

<p>cool. when did you send in your tutition deposit?</p>

<p>i sent it last thursday.</p>

<p>it's pretty easy.. I actually changed mine before I sent in the deposit. You need to log into the directory (using your netid) at directory.northwestern.edu, the authenicated logon for off-campus, then go to edit your directory info, edit your information, where it says alias, click edit that, and change it to whatever you want (not necessarily firstinital-last name) and it'll change your email</p>

<p>see you on facebook :D</p>

<p>i searched myself, and it says SPCH under curriculum. what's SPCH?</p>

<p>uh... hm.. It's whichever school you are... I'm MEAS (Mccormick school of Engineering and Applied Science)</p>

<p>i'm in the school of communication. i can't figure out how SPCH stands for that though.</p>

<p>SPCH = SPeeCH?</p>

<p>curriculum? what the fudge?</p>

<p>it's the school you are in.. I have a bunch of codes for tech, because I'm going to the engineering school. There's codes to show if you're admitted or matriculating (paid), there's codes to say you can use library services.. etc, etc.</p>

<p>I see I see. Mine just said WCAS = weinberg. I wonder when I get my financial aid news...</p>

<p>have you checked CAESAR? I checked it before they emailed me about my appeal going through and it was changed before..</p>
