Welcome to Minot State University!

MSU is an exciting place to work and we look forward to welcoming you to our community of faculty, staff, students, alumni, volunteers, and friends. At MSU, new hire onboarding begins shortly after the acceptance of a position with the University. To ensure an enjoyable experience and a smooth transition, we have outlined a number of activities for you to complete, at your own pace, prior to your first day on campus.

Before You Arrive on Campus

Following your acceptance of employment, you will receive a series of emails with information for completing the data and systems portion of your onboarding process.

  1. The first email you will receive will have your temporary ID and password along with a link to enter your Personal Data Information.
  2. Once you have completed the Personal Data, you will receive a second email to claim your NDUS User Account.  If you already have an NDUS user account, the same website includes links to obtain your user ID and change your password if needed.
  3. Once you have claimed your NDUS User Account, please log into  New Employee Onboarding using your user ID and password and follow the instructions to complete the Activity Guide (Form I-9 Section One, marital status, contact information, emergency contacts, federal tax elections,  etc.) 

First Day on Campus 

The following New Employee Orientation modules provide information on  Health and Retirement Benefits and Employee Self-Service. Our goal is to provide you with information, resources, and answers to many of the questions you may have as a new employee. If you have additional questions after reviewing this information, please contact the Office of Payroll and Benefits at 701-858-3334.
