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.

Check E-mail

Upgrade to Exchange 2007 completed

The e-mail server upgrade to Exchange 2007 was successfully completed during Spring Break. For more information about this, please visit our Exchange 2007 website. You may need to update your bookmarks (also called favorites) to HuskyNet e-mail, due to the login page change that occurred this week. If you are unable to access HuskyNet e-mail using your regular bookmark, please delete that bookmark and re-create a new one.

If you still are unable to access HuskyNet e-mail, please delete your web browser’s cache and try again. Visit our Internet Web Browser page, for instructions on how to clear you cache.

Spam and Unsolicited E-mail

Spam, also known as electronic junk mail, includes any unsolicited commercial e-mails you receive. To learn more about what SCSU is doing to reduce spam in your inbox and how to protect yourself from being a target for spam, see SCSU's Spam Solution.

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.

Quick Tip

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.
