College e-mail

My college e-mail still works; I logged in this afternoon to change the password, as it was informing me that it would reset in two weeks (the passwords usually reset about once a month). However, last year, I was able to do the same but that access to it vanished just before the new academic year started, as all student accounts became inaccessible until we began our new courses. I fully expect to lose access to my college e-mail within the next week or two - except this time, I won't be starting a new course at Central, so it's highly unlikely that I'll regain access to it.
