Published on August 22, 2013 by MSU Human ResourcesLeave a comment

If you use university systems like EBS or SIS frequently, your MSU NetID login is pretty familiar to you. What if the only time you use it is to update your Benefits during open enrollment? Will you remember the password? If not, you’ll need the PIN that was issued with your NetID or you’ll need to request a new one. You can do that at netid.msu.edu. Benefits Open Enrollment starts October 1, so be sure you are prepared.

The NetID home page is also where you can reset your password and learn more about what you can access using your MSU NetID. For example; did you know that as an employee you have access to library resources, wireless internet pretty much anywhere on campus, and the AFS file system where you can have a personal web page or shared file space where you control the access? For more information about using your AFS space, see our blog posts A Guide to Your AFS Space- Part One and A Guide to Your AFS Space – Part Two. Your MSU NetID also gives you access to Google Apps for Education Edition.

Reminder: Update Your Printed Materials with Your New Campus Address!

Published on August 13, 2013 by MSU Human ResourcesLeave a comment

There have been several changes at MSU over the past year, including the creation of street addresses for buildings across campus. The campus addressing project at MSU was officially completed in 2012. The project converted building addresses to street addresses and addresses were assigned across campus to green-light phones, parking lots, etc.

Forwarding services with the United States Postal Service (USPS) allow 18 months for address corrections to be finished. That time is soon coming to an end. All materials such as envelopes, business cards, letterhead, etc., should include the new address for your building. To look up the new address for a building, visit http://campusaddresses.msu.edu/.Continue Reading… Reminder: Update Your Printed Materials with Your New Campus Address!
