Your Minnesota State StarID is the unique identifier used to access most WSU and Minnesota State online resources and services. Your StarID is composed of two letters, four numbers, and two letters (e.g. ab1234cd). Use your StarID as your username, along with a password of your choosing, for as long as you are a student or employee of any institution in the system. Your StarID never expires and remains associated with you for life.

Receiving your StarID

A new StarID is established for you by the Minnesota State system office when you become a student or are hired as a new employee.

Employees. Your StarID will be emailed to you by WSU Human Resources when your employment contract is finalized.
Students. Your StarID will be emailed to you by WSU Student Affairs when you are admitted to WSU.

Variations of your StarID username

Different systems and services require different variations of your StarID username. Fortunately, there are only three possibilities:

Username Variation	Systems and Services That Require Variation
StarID only (e.g., ab1234dc)	WSU laptop, D2L Brightspace, MediaSpace, Zoom, eServices
StarID@minnstate.edu (employee) or StarID@go.minnstate.edu (student)	Microsoft 365, Flipgrid, WarriorSpace, My Warrior Life
StarID@winona.edu (employee) or StarID@go.winona.edu (student)	Adobe.com, OneStop

Other Usernames and Passwords

The following systems and services require authentication but do not use StarID credentials. Most require a separate username and password of your choosing:

StarID username versus email address

You are absolutely right, there are variations of the StarID above that look just like email addresses. In some cases, your username is your email address.

When you come to WSU, you are assigned several unique email addresses:

For employees, that would include addresses like StarID@winona.edu, StarID@minnstate.edu, and firstname.lastname@winona.edu. All emails sent to any of those addresses are routed into a single inbox. (If you teach at another school in the Minnesota State system, emails to those addresses end up in this inbox, too.)
For students, that would include addresses like StarID@go.winona.edu, StarID@go.minnstate.edu, and firstname.lastname@go.winona.edu. All emails sent to any of those addresses are routed into a single inbox. (If you take classes at another school in the Minnesota State system, emails to those addresses end up in this inbox, too.)

If you are an employee and a student, your will have two inboxes, one for work email and another for student email.
