Can I do an online class and not have an email account?

You should NOT!!! Your email account is a very important part of communicating with your instructor, classmates, and your school. I would suggest that you create/obtain an email address that represents professionalism. (Please avoid things like Poopsie@abc.com or Ihateyourmother@123.com as you will be lablled by this moniker.) Email addresses usually come right along with your ISP so that the ISP can communicate with you as well. You may aslo be able to have one assigned by your school or purchase one with more bells and whistles like Helloworld.com. With Helloworld you can send video emails and video clips of your works to your instructor and classmates. (http://www.wewillsucceed.com) to learn more.
