Email Information

Google provides e-mail, calendaring and document sharing services to all MSU-Northern students. This is your official e-mail account for ALL University related matters. All Northern students have a email address that is automatically generated when they register for classes. To access these applications, you will need your NetID and password.

If you don’t know your NetID, you can retrieve it and set your password by logging on to the Password reset page (you will need your MyInfo ID number and PIN)
Note: your SSN will NOT work as your ID on the Portal password change page!

You can also access your e-mail account via MyPortal at: https://myportal.montana.edu/

MyPortal Information

MyPortal provides access to a wide variety of information, including your Google email, critical announcements, news headlines, file sharing, chat, calendars, and more. Your username for logging onto the MyPortal is the same as the username you use for logging onto computers in the labs.

If you don't know what your username is, please follow the directions found in the right hand column on this page in the section titled "Finding out what your username is"

MyPortal Usernames:

In most instances, but not always, your username for MyPortal access (where your email is) is determined by taking your first name (according to what the campus registrar’s office has on file) and your entire last name with no spaces, dashes, apostrophes, or quotation marks. For example:

Robert Benjamin Ba’zooka, Jr.'s username would be: Robert.Bazooka

If more than one person has the same name as yours, or your name is very long, your username will probably not follow the firstname.lastname format. To find out what your username is, please follow the directions found at the top of right hand column on this page: "Finding out what your username is".

Your email address is:
your.username@students.msun.edu
