lotsofqs,
I know it was awhile ago you posted this, but in case you're still reading -- you can get a hard copy in the mail of correspondence from admissions, or it can show up in your DS's portal, or maybe both. My DS received an LOE by mail in September (still hasn't shown up in his portal); he received his 3Q letter in his portal (never received a copy in the mail). It probably depends on how his admissions counselor does it.
