MSU Employee Identifiers


IMPORTANT. You must be in the university's information system before you can use online services, such as registering your vehicle or getting your MSU ID card. Your supervisor or departmental secretary can tell you whether you are in the system.

Once your new hire paperwork has been entered into the university's information system, you will be assigned an MSU Identification Number, NetID, and NetPassword.

MSU ID Number

A unique nine-digit number that is used as the primary identification number within the university's comprehensive information system, Banner.

NetID

Your NetID is a unique identifier that is used for accessing a variety of information technology resources and services. It will be generated when your new hire paperwork is entered into Banner, the university's information system.

NetPassword

Your NetPassword is used in conjunction with your NetID to access MSU online services and resources. You will be required to set up your initial NetPassword in the NetPassword Maintenance application, located at the web site https://ssl2.msstate.edu/NetPassword/Maintenance.
