StarID Checklist/Helpful Information 
Employees, Guests and Human Resources Staff can use this checklist and helpful information when creating and accessing your StarID.

  

HUMAN RESOURCES

• Enter a new employee’s Person information into the HR application (i.e. SCUPPS) to generate their Tech ID and StarID. Include Institution Last Hire Date and Social Security Number.  If you get a request to create a person record for a non-employee such as an auditor or consultant (i.e. Guests), enter a Personal (P) or Work (W) email address. The guest will use this email address to manage their StarID.  NOTE: A new employee or guest can activate a StarID within an hour of this information being entered into the HR application. 
  

• Notify employee of their Tech ID (not required for Guests).

• Collaborate with campus I.T. to ensure that employee’s institutionally assigned email address is in the HR application (this will be a follow-up step after initial employee setup). This is not required for Guests.

 

 

EMPLOYEE OR GUEST

• Go to starid.mnscu.edu.

• Click on Activate StarID and complete steps to activate StarID.  NOTE: New employees can use Tech ID and the last four digits of their Social Security Number to activate their StarID. Guests can use their personal or work e-mail address.

• Optionally, go to Employee Home (https://admin.mnscu.edu/employeehome/) and select Security Administration to complete security requests.

 

 

StarID HELP
