Beginning in March, Information Technology Services will expand Northwest Technical College’s use of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities StarID as the login credential for on-campus computers and for a variety of online services.<\/p>\n
Expanded StarID rollout will happen March 1 for all faculty, staff and students. After March 1, you will be unable to access NTC computers, campus Wi-Fi and most NTC online services unless you know your StarID and password. You can look up your StarID or reset your password at: http:\/\/starid.mnscu.edu.<\/p>\n
Several information sessions will be held at BSU and at NTC throughout February. Please try to attend a session if you have questions. The sessions will be held:<\/p>\n
Monday, Feb. 22, 10 a.m., BSU Crying Wolf Room
\nTuesday, Feb. 23, noon, NTC Room 328<\/p>\n
The expanded use of StarID is part of an initiative to improve security for the college’s electronic services and to streamline login procedures across a variety of services.<\/p>\n
Beginning March 1, your current login credentials will no longer function, and you must use StarID to log in. Some examples of services moving to StarID include:<\/p>\n
NTC faculty computers
\nMyNTC
\nOffice365 email and OneDrive
\npublic computers on campus, including student lab computers
\nPaperCut printer authentication<\/p>\n
In addition, you will now need StarID to log into the campus Wi-Fi network and into any NTC email accounts you have added to personal computers or mobile devices. After the StarID launch on March 1, your current Wi-Fi and email configurations will no longer function and you will be unable to access NTC’s wireless network or your email until your login credentials are updated.<\/p>\n
