Princeton E-mail address for acceptees

<p>I don't know if this was answered already, but when do acceptees get to set up their Princeton.edu email account? I am making business cards for a little business I have and I want to put my new email on them.</p>

<p>I read somewhere that when you check in, the OIT gives you some CDs containing virus scanners, setup software and instructions to set up your ID. So probably not before you actually land there.</p>

<p>I think you get it in August?</p>

<p>I also thought you receive a Princeton email address before you arrive on campus. Don't you need it to access the facebook and that should be by late July/early August...</p>

<p>I was just going to post this question. Does anyone know? I know that last year my sister got her Harvard one in July. I definitely think we'll get it before we actually get there in September. </p>

<p>We get it in July when we get our roommates, res college assignments, etc.</p>

<p>Yep. Mid-late July. Aka not-so-far-off-but-it-feels-like-it.</p>
