No, they will only give out certificates if you can prove ownership of the IP, which means it being publicly routable.

A lot of publicly routable IP addresses are assigned by DHCP...

It's just control isn't it, not ownership? I can't prove ownership of the IPs assigned to me, but I can prove control.

Sorry, I wasn’t precise enough. I’m at a university and our IP addresses are publicly routable, I think.

Ask Google "what is my IP" and compare it to your DHCP assigned address. If they are different your DHCP address isn't publically routeable.
