Online Orientation 2019
HERE ARE A FEW THINGS ALL STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW...
Connecting to WiFi on campus is simple and easy-
-
Open up your WiFi settings on your phone or laptop
-
Find "MSU Secure" (Other MSU WiFi's do work, but MSU Secure will give you the strongest connection
-
Sign in using your NetID and Password
"...and What's the Difference Between NetID and CWID?"
Your NetID is your Last name, plus the first initial of your first name and a number. An example of that would be Smithj46
​
Your CWID on the other hand is a 8 digit number that starts with a "M". An example of that would be M21611111.
​
*** It is very important that you have either written down or memorized these numbers. You will use them throughout your college career at MSU.
