Change Default Institution and Email Address to stcloudstate.edu

Introduction

• If your primary email is already set to the following, you don't have to change anything
  • Employees/Emeriti: email@stcloudstate.edu
  • Student: email@go.stcloudstate.edu
• Only one email address can be selected as a primary email address. This is the email that will show as your FROM: address.
• All email addresses assigned to you at any other MinnState institutions (that have migrated to the MinnState Office 365 Shared Tenant) are assigned to this email account, so this inbox will accept any email sent to all of these addresses. However, your FROM: address will have to be selected as directed in steps 1 through 5 below and this will be the default on all email that you send.
