StarID Sign-In Changes
Starting November 17
Students: sign in to campus computers and eServices with StarID@go.minnstate.edu
- Employees: most sign-ins are not changing.
- Passwords: your current password keeps working.
- Do your part: check when your StarID password expires. If it expires soon, change it by Friday, November 13.
Example: if your StarID is ab1234cd, sign in as ab1234cd@go.minnstate.edu.

Do your part: check your StarID password by November 13
If your password expires during the change, you may not be able to sign in for a couple of days. Be proactive and check it now.
- Sign in to StarID Self-Service (starid.minnstate.edu).
- Look for the date your password expires.
- If it expires on or before Friday, November 20 (the week of the change), change your password by Friday, November 13.
This applies to everyone: students, employees and employees who are also students.
