In the last legislative session new sections were added to the North Dakota Century Code (15-10-44.1) requiring all North Dakota University System institutions to use a common email system and services provided by the NDUS. North Dakota Century Code 15-10-44.1 Each institution and entity under the control of the state board of higher education shall obtain electronic mail, file server administration, database administration, research computing, storage, application server, and hosting services through a delivery system established by the board. The board shall establish policies and guidelines for the delivery of services, including the transition from existing systems to functional consolidation, with consideration given to the creation of efficiencies, cost-savings, and improved quality of service. The consolidation of student and faculty/staff email to a common email system will improve overall communication within the North Dakota University System. Eight of the 11 NDUS institutions have already consolidated to a single email environment, and the migration of MSU faculty/staff email to this new system was completed over the summer of 2016. We are now preparing to migrate MSU student email accounts (@my.minotstateu.edu). What are the benefits? MSU students, faculty and staff will be on the same email platform and will be able to collaborate using Office 365 calendaring, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint, and Skype for Business. MSU students will continue to have access to the same features as current accounts with Office 365 including:
What will change? Current and recent students: Migration will begin November 28, 2016, for current and recent students (enrolled within the 2016-2017 term). As accounts are migrated, the following changes will occur:
Faculty/staff members who also have a student email account:
Current students who also have a student email account with another NDUS institution:
Former students and alumni:
We will provide updates on the migration project in the public information campus announcements and at this page.
