Graduate students at St. Cloud State University sometimes struggle to access necessary forms. Here are the common reasons for access issues and how to fix them:
Why can’t I access the graduate student forms?
There are two main reasons for access problems:
1- Incorrect Login Credentials:
To access graduate student forms, log in to Office 365 using your student StarID credentials. This means:
• Use the format: ab1234cd@go.minnstate.edu
• Do not use your Graduate Assistant (GA) or staff/faculty StarID credentials, as these accounts lack the permissions needed to access student forms.
Tip: If you're unsure which account you're using, log out of all Microsoft accounts and then log in again with your student credentials.
2- Not Enrolled for 1 Year or More:
If you haven’t been enrolled in at least 1 credit for a year or more, your access may be limited. In this case:
• Reset your StarID password at:
https://starid.minnstate.edu/
• After resetting, you must register for at least 1 credit to regain access to the forms.
What should I do if I’m still having trouble?
If you've followed the steps above and still can't access the forms:
• Check that you're using the correct student login format.
• Clear your browser cache or try a different browser.
• Contact the Graduate Studies Office for more help.
