Question:
I am an employee who also takes classes at Metro State. What do I need to know about my email / M365 account?
Answer:
Employees who take classes at Metro State receive a separate student email / M365 account.
- Employees who take classes will have two email / M365 accounts: employee and student.
- Each account can be accessed using the respective employee or student MinnState M365 login credentials reflected below.
| Employee Email / M365 Account |
Student Email / M365 Account |
|
Employee MinnState Login:
- Username: StarID@minnstate.edu
- StarID Password
|
Student MinnState Login:
- Username: StarID@go.minnstate.edu
- StarID Password
|
| Email Address: first.last@metrostate.edu |
Email Address: first.last@my.metrostate.edu |
| Email Received: Employee |
Email Received: Student |
Note: There will be a small number of email addresses that will include a number in the email address. If there is more than one person with the same first and last name your email address may contain a number, for example:
- Student: first.last.#@my.metrostate.edu
- Employee: first.last.#@metrostate.edu
Points to Remember
- It is suggested to use browser profiles for the easiest way to sign into both accounts.
- You will need to log in to both of your employee and student email accounts with the appropriate MinnState login.
- You will receive a student email address at any Minnesota State institution where you take classes. All email will be delivered to one student mailbox.
- You will need to set a primary student email account if you are attending classes at multiple Minnesota State institutions.
- As an employee and student, you will need to set up Multi-factor authentication (MFA) on both your employee and student accounts separately. The Microsoft Authenticator application can support multiple accounts. If you are employed or take classes at multiple Minnesota State University / Colleges you only need to do this once per employee or once per student account.
