You should get Tiger regardless of when you sign up. My understanding is that when you are first signed up in the program, they automatically ship you the current Mac OS version along with your first mailing.
Great news! I just hope you don't have to be enrolled for summer term:)
 
Yesterday I received a phone call from Apple Developer Connection. They stated that since my wife's Student ADC Membership doesn't expire until June, we WILL receive a copy of Tiger in the May ADC mailing. If yours happens to expire in April or May, you may need to call them.....but June or later seems fine. Just thought I'd let everyone know.
 
If you signed up today (it is a paid $99 membership) you would probably not get all the paperwork through for the May mailing. You should still get Tiger in your initial mailing but you might get Tiger a month or more after release. So if you can wait then go for it. :) I can't...
 
I was kinda hoping since i did get 10.3 for free with my Student ADC. If i get 10.4 free. That would be awesome.
 
So, did any Student Devs get their free copies of Tiger yet? I want to know if I should just wait for my next mailing, or order it online now.
 
FYI: The May ADC mailing went out on April 29th, as per an ADC email I received in response to a query (I'm a Select member). I should think we'd see it this week; I think they ship it media rate, which is the slowest service.

I downloaded it from ADC on the 29th and installed it. I guess the DVD will be here in a day or two.

I don't have it in the ADC Download center. What am I doing wrong?
Are you a Select Member or a student? I'm not sure Students get the download, but I don't know that for a fact. I just checked, and it's still there under "OS X"; it's been aged out of "What's New", at this point.

I'm a student member. I just assumed you were talking about students.
 
Just a follow-up.

I received my ADC Student mailing today and Tiger was included. I've already installed Tiger off a friends disc since I knew I was getting it for free but... just some confirmation for those that might still be waiting.
