Email and O365 For Employees Who Are Also Students

Body

Question

I am an employee who also takes classes at South Dakota State University.  What do I need to know about my email / O365 account?

Answer

Employees who take classes at SDSU receive a separate student email / O365 account.

  • Employees who take classes will have two email / O365 accounts: employee and student. 
  • Each account can be accessed using the respective, employee or student, MyState O365 login credentials reflected below.
Employee Email / O365 Account Student Email / O365 Account

Employee Login:

  • Username: first.last@sdstate.edu
  • Password

Student Login:

  • Username: first.last@jacks.sdstate.edu
  • Password
Email Address: first.last@sdstate.edu Email Address: first.last@jacks.sdstate.edu
Email Received: employee Email Received: student

Note: There will be a small number of email addresses that will include a number in the email address. If there is more than one person with the same first and last name your email address may contain a number, for example: 

  • Student: first.last#@jacks.sdstate.edu
  • Employee: first.last#@sdstate.edu

Points to Remember

  1. You will need to log in to both of your employee and student email accounts with the appropriate myState login.
  2. You will receive a student email account at any South Dakota State institution where you take classes.  All email will be delivered to one student mailbox.
  3. If you are both employee and student, you will need to set up Multi-factor authentication (MFA) on both your employee and student accounts. Duo can support multiple accounts.
