UpgradeMe's response is stilll accurate.
jeremyzechar's - post may be accurate as a generalization (I don't know) but I can tell you for a fact that UA earns on Student Universe tickets when booked into certain fare classes but not on other Student Universe tickets.
I would consider the booking code (does it normally earn miles) as a more authorative way of determining if a ticket will earn miles than whatever an agency says.
Generally, agencies that issue some non-earning tickets cover themselves by saying "tickets do not earn miles." Actually it depends on the fare rules and booking code...also if it books into a fare code that normally earns miles, eveni if isn't supposed to earn miles, it usually will because the airline's computer often cannot tell the difference.
