HuskyNet E-mail at SCSU

Your HuskyNet account is your e-mail at St. Cloud State University. Students, faculty and staff can access e-mail once they activate their HuskyNetID (username). HuskyNet e-mail also includes a personal contact list and calendar, all accessible on and off campus through a variety of methods.

Important Note

E-mail is an official form of communication to students at SCSU, so students should check their e-mail frequently to be sure you don't miss important announcements from professors and university offices.

If you are unable to access HuskyNet e-mail using your regular bookmark, please delete that bookmark and re-create a new one.

Attachment Sizes and Restrictions

HuskyNet allows you to send attachments up to 10 Mb. Be aware that some e-mail providers might not accept attachments this large and might block certain types of attachments.

• Instructions on how to send attachments

Large attachments
If you have an attachment larger than 10 Mb, instead of e-mailing it you can place it in your personal Web space and then e-mail the person a Web link to the file. You can remove the file once you are certain the person has retrieved it from the server.

Changing the Display Name of your HuskyNetID

If you need to have your name changed, you must contact Records & Registration (Administrative Services Building - Room 118) to alter your name in the St. Cloud State University records system. Once you have done this, the display name for your D2L course and your HuskyNet email will update automatically within 48 hours. If this change has not been completed within 48 hours, please email helpdesk@stcloudstate.edu.
