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.
