Keep them for how long?
My son applied to a school, got accepted, and then didn't go. He has an email address from them - but I don't know how long he'll keep it. I'm imagining a year or at least 6 months. But no idea yet.

I stumbled upon a thread on another board where someone said they were able to keep theirs and others said theirs was discontinued as soon as they left the school. It just got me wondering what is more common.

The schools I went you keep them and then after a year of no classes or enrollment you email is archieved and saved. If you enroll again it is reactivated but a blank slate.
The two community colleges I went to and had an email for them. When I wasn't attending them I tried to access it once and I couldn't do it. Then a couple years later I went back and they reactivated my email but the inbox was empty of all old emails. This happened both times.
I also applied for a college right after high school and got in but didn't go. They gave me an email address and I only checked it once. But then a few years later I considered going there to finish my bachelors. Same thing they reactivated my email and everything was reset and empty.
That my experience and I'm pretty sure that is same with other schools. But some schools (like Harvard) you keep your email for life I believe.

The only reason I would want an email address from school is - Student Discounts (on many things)! Other than that, I'm not sure why I would need/want one... I have several, haven't really used the discounts either, but it's "there" if I ever needed it though...

Michigan Tech assigned me one when I applied seven years ago. Never attended, but my mtu.edu address is still active.
Strayer does specify that student accounts will be suspended if active enrollment is not maintained. Presumably, as a for-profit company, they do not want to pay the O365 fees for inactive students. I think not-for-profit and state schools get free perpetual access to GSuite, which is why so many institutions use that service.

Nice! I took one class in 2008 at our community college. I have no clue if I even HAD an email address. LOL
And yes, they are great for discounts. I work at a K-12 school, so my staff email made it possible for me to get the desktop version of MS Office for dirt cheap. Maybe $30 or so. I definitely installed that on my new PC. I like it better than the cloud-based versions.
