ID Card Services

Spartan Card provisioning and troubleshooting for MSU students, faculty, staff, and affiliated persons is handled by the ID Office. A Spartan Card can be used for door and parking access, meal plans, library borrowing, recreational sports facilities access and athletic ticketing. Spartan Card acquisition and usage details can be found at idoffice.msu.edu.

MSU Guest Account Registration

MSU Guest Account (formerly Community ID) grants limited access to web-based MSU services for users who are not affiliated with MSU directly. Users typically include members of the general public who sign up for non-credit courses, distance learners, and parents, guardians, and others invited by a student to access their information (such as MSU financial systems). Students enrolled in credit classes should log in to MSU resources using their NetID and should not register for a Guest Account.

NetID

MSU NetIDs are assigned to all current faculty, staff, students and retirees. A NetID is a unique alphanumeric identifier auto-generated from the user's name.

Your NetID is your personal identifier at MSU and serves as your login to many university computing and networking services. Your NetID also determines your MSU email address which is netid@msu.edu (e.g. the NetID msuspartan would have the email address msuspartan@msu.edu).

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Stronger authentication method for key technology systems currently using MSU’s single-sign on system, to reduce the risk of a compromise, especially with high value systems such as those that process or store sensitive and restricted information.
