An ad hoc advisory group has made recommendations to guide the Administration's decision to direct its 'official' mail to a student's mandated email inbox on the mnstate.edu system. Accordingly, President Barden has approved the following policy: All official University business will be conducted via mnstate.edu email accounts. Email communication to students will be sent to the mnstate.edu email address exclusively.

Online coursework is facilitated when professors can quickly and accurately establish communication with enrolled students using 'official' personal inboxes on the mnstate.edu system. Important information, such as financial aid award letters, will be sent exclusively to mnstate.edu accounts starting this spring. As the year progresses, other important information regarding student status will be sent only to this account.

Therefore, it is essential that students access, read and use their mnstate.edu accounts.  Directions to sign up for a new mnstate.edu account are on the MSUM homepage. Simply click on 'email'. Please take personal responsibility to ensure you are informed.
