SAVE THE DATE: Star Alert Changes are coming October 7, 2019

Anoka-Ramsey Community College is revamping the way Star Alert (college emergency and weather-related messaging notification system) registrations occur.  We are moving from an Opt-In (self-registration) to an Opt-Out (auto-registration) process. 

The Office of Information Technology (OIT) will be purging current registrations by October 7, 2019 and auto-registering current students, faculty and staff into the Star Alert system. 

If you are external to ARCC (parent of a student, contract employee, etc.), you will need to re-register into the StarAlert portal on or after October 7, 2019.

Instructions to re-register will be made available on Tuesday, October 8, 2019.

Using your StarID to access resources


The Office of Information Technology is pleased to share the following information regarding the Office 365 Shared Tenant migration.

The most common questions are 1) how do I log into my email and 2) is StarID@go.minnstate.edu (students) or StarID@minnstate.edu (employees) my new email address?

You will use StarID@go.minnstate.edu or StarID@minnstate.edu as your login “username”, when prompted. StarID@go.minnstate.edu or StarID@minnstate.edu should not be used as a send/receive email address.

Reference guide to determine when to use the StarID by itself or with the @minnstate.edu or @go.minnstate.edu

Continue to use your college-provided email (@my.anokaramsey.edu, @my.anokatech.edu, @anokaramsey.edu, @anokatech.edu) to communicate with your peers and colleagues.
