Authorized Users
When another person contacts the university in regards to a student's account, we require that the student give MSU permission to discuss their account with the person requesting the information. Students have the ability to make anyone they choose as authorized users of their student account. They can do this in two different ways:
1. They can making another individual an authorized user on their MyGate account. They will be required to submit the individual's email address. Once they submit an individual's email address, that individual will receive an email listing them to become and authorized user. The individual will have to accept the invitation, and enter their name.
2. Complete the CONSENT TO RELEASE INFORMATION FORM and have it on file with the Registrar's Office, listing the individual as an authorized user.
Email
Students are required to give their student ID number (M#) in all emails, before specific information will be answered. All emails sent from the student's MSU email address will be answered, without verifying security questions. Emails received from other email addresses, will only be answered if the domain is known to be a legitimate business or school system, and the address is the student's name. Only general questions will be answered for unacceptable email addresses. The student will be notified that before specific account information can be divulged, the email request would need to be submitted from their MSU email account.
