    Hi,

    Does anybody know how I can procure an ac.uk email address online? Is there a course I can do (fairly cheap) or free? If anybody has any info, it would be appreciated.

    Open University maybe?

    You can get an @open.ac.uk email address if you enrol as a student. I'm not sure whether you can enrol as a student to do free online courses or cheap distance learning or something.

    Apparently you enrol as a student by submitting your own details and email address, but you can then open an OU email address.

    Not sure if this will be possible for minimal cost or not?

    Thank Susannah,

    I have delved into this path and it seems ac.uk emails are not handed out to free course students. I might be tempted to enrol next semester. I am an accredited registrar with JISC but, I don't think they'd approve of me registering an ac.uk domain for my own personal usage ;)
