I also forgot the one other extremely important point. Your assumption
is that when your asking the staff person to create your account that
the password is just for email. That is extremely unlikely to be the
case. These days, the student will have one login and one password
(likely with 2FA) for everything. They don't have separate accounts for
accessing learning materials, admin/billing/enrolment/transcripts,
email, library, network access etc. All these services are integrated
under a 'same login' (slightly different to single sign on, though many
of the systems would also be SSO).

As for telling them about your principals... Well quite honestly, I
doubt any admin or service desk person or any staff generally will care
about your principals. The likely response will be "Oh well, then you
had better find a different school". Remember, ultimately, it is no skin
off their nose if you enrol or not - their pay packet will be the same.
