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.

2. Log in with your StarID and StarID password.

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

• 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
