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:
Points to Remember
- 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.
- If you are both employee and student, you will need to set up Multi-factor authentication (MFA) on both your employee and student accounts. 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/student account.
