How to change my default "Primary" email to hennepintech.edu. If your primary email is already set to @hennepintech.edu (employees) or @my.hennepintech.edu (students) you do not need to do anything. Only one email address can be selected as a primary email address and default institution. This is the email that will show as your 'From' address.

All email addresses assigned to you at any other Minnesota State institutions are assigned to this email account and will be delivered to one mailbox. However, your Hennepin Tech email will need to be selected as your 'Primary' email address to become the default email address displayed on all email you send. Your primary email is the address displayed as your From: address on all email.

1) Go to starid.minnstate.edu and select Sign into Profile.

“Minnesota State webpage with four blue buttons. From left to right: ‘Reset my Password,’ ‘Sign in to Profile,’ ‘Activate my StarID,’ and ‘What is my StarID.’ A red arrow points to the ‘Sign in to Profile’ button, which includes the text ‘Change your password, email preferences, and security questions.’ Below is a section titled ‘What is a StarID?’ with a description of the StarID username system. Footer text includes statements about Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and links for Privacy Statement and Technical Issues.”

2. Log in with your StarID and StarID password.

“Navigation tabs labeled ‘StarID Profile,’ ‘Office 365 Contact,’ and ‘Security Questions.’ The ‘Office 365 Contact’ tab is highlighted in yellow, and a red arrow points to it. Below is the message: ‘Protect your StarID! Add Security questions.’”

3. Select the Office 365 Contact tab and then select Contact Card.

  • Note: You do not need to do anything if your contact primary email is already set to the following:

    • Employees: first.last@hennepintech.edu

    • Students: first.last@my.hennepintech.edu or first.last.#@my.hennepintech.edu

Alt text: “Two labeled sections. On the left, the heading ‘Employee Contact’ is highlighted in yellow above a blue button labeled ‘Hennepin Technical College,’ with a red arrow pointing to it. On the right, the heading ‘Student Contact’ is highlighted in yellow above another blue button labeled ‘Hennepin Technical College.’ The word ‘OR’ appears between the two sections.”

  • If the primary email is set to something different than listed above, continue with step 4.

4.  Select a new primary email. The primary email selected also determines the default institution.

  • If you are an Employee:

    • Click on 'Select New Employee Contact Card' and select your Hennepin Tech email address:

    • first.last@hennepintech.edu

  • If you are a Student:

    • Click on Select New Student Contact Card and select your Hennepin Tech email address:

    • first.last@my.hennepintech.edu or first.last.#@my.hennepintech.edu

“Two sections showing college email options. The first section is labeled ‘North Hennepin Community College’ highlighted in yellow. Below are two email addresses: ‘Your Name@my.nhcc.edu’ and ‘Your Name Alternate email @my.nhcc.edu,’ each marked with a red arrow. The second section is labeled ‘Hennepin Technical College’ highlighted in yellow. Below is an email address labeled ‘First Last Name @my.hennepintech.edu,’ also marked with a red arrow. A cursor icon appears next to the Hennepin Technical College address.”
