HuskyNet, short for Husky Network, provides you with access to
campus technology services. Once
you are enrolled at SCSU and get a Campus Card, you can activate your
HuskyNetID using your SCSU ID number and password. Your HuskyNetID

Your SCSU ID password helps the university keep your electronic records
secure. SCSU sets your initial six-digit password as your birth date in year,
month and day order (yymmdd). For example, if your birthday falls on Nov.
29, 1988, you would have a password assigned as 881129. If you do not
indicate a birthday on your admission application, your password will be
the last six digits of your social security number. The computer system will
prompt you to change this number to your own unique password when you
log in to the SCSU system for the first time. Refer to page 10 for password
requirements. If your SCSU ID password needs to be reset, contact the
Office of Records and Registration, in the Administrative Services building,
at (320) 308-2111.

Password maintenance
Since your SCSU ID and HuskyNetID passwords provide access to many
services at SCSU, you are required to change them at least every 180 days.
Never give your password to friends, roommates or anyone else.
Password requirements
The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system requires
that all SCSU passwords must meet or exceed the following criteria:
• Be reset every 180 days
• Have a minimum of 8 characters (letters, number or special characters)
• Have 3 of the 4 types of characters (uppercase, lowercase, numbers,
special characters)
Resetting your passwords
HuskyNetID password: Go to huskynet.stcloudstate.edu and click on the
“Reset My Password” button on the right side of the page. You will need your
SCSU ID password and SCSU ID number (page 2). If you need to reset a

the HuskyNet Accounts Manager at huskynetaccounts@stcloudstate.edu.
SCSU ID password: Contact the Office of Records and Registration in the
Administrative Services building at (320) 308-2111.
Account expiration
HuskyNetIDs remain active as long as you are continuously registered
for courses at SCSU. The following information pertains to expiration
of HuskyNetIDs and accounts. Please visit huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/
myHuskyNet/expiration.asp for complete details.
1st semester not enrolled:
• Account Deactivation – If you are not registered for courses by the 10th day
of fall or spring semester (summer and intersession are not included), your
HuskyNetID will be deactivated. New e-mail will not be delivered and your
existing e-mail and private files will be retained but not accessible to you.
This includes students working on an incomplete from the previous semester,
but does not include recent graduates (see “Exceptions and extensions” on
the next page for information regarding graduation from SCSU).
2nd semester not enrolled:
• Account Removal – Deactivated HuskyNetIDs and the accounts associated
with them will be deleted from the SCSU system on the 10th day of the

TIP
Creating secure,
easy-to-remember
passwords
• Use intentionally misspelled words
(e.g. “Braekfast23”)
• Include a punctuation mark in the
middle of a word (e.g. “Wea!ther”)
• Use numbers or punctuation instead of
letters to encrypt your password (e.g.
“Un1versity” or “Univer$ity”)
• Use a song title or phrase to create a
password (e.g. “Twinkle Twinkle Little
Star” could be come “TwTwLiSt!!”)
Remember that changing your password
can be as simple as taking a word –
eight letters or more – capitalizing the
first letter of that word and changing one
of the letters to a symbol.

E-mail
HuskyNet e-mail is an official means of communication between you and
St. Cloud State. SCSU requires that you activate your HuskyNetID account
and expects that you check your HuskyNet e-mail frequently for official
university messages. Campus offices and employees use HuskyNet e-mail to
convey important information to you. All official messages should be read
promptly and acted on in a timely manner.
You are not required to close other personal e-mail accounts, but know that
you will only receive official university messages in your HuskyNet e-mail
account. Your HuskyNet e-mail provides you with access to 200 MB of e-mail
storage space.
HuskyNet e-mail advantages:
• Access to instructors/advisors – Faculty and staff use HuskyNet e-mail as a
reliable way to assign coursework, accept assignments and answer questions.
• Information from campus offices – Campus offices use HuskyNet e-mail to
inform you of important dates, services and announcements.
• Antivirus scanning – SCSU uses antivirus software to filter out viruses,
worms and other malicious items from HuskyNet e-mail.
• Spam and junk e-mail filtering – SCSU uses filtering technology to keep
the majority of unsolicited e-mail out of campus accounts (page 26).
• Calendar – The calendar system helps you keep track of classes, work,
appointments and activities.
• Address book – The global address book lets you easily locate the HuskyNet
e-mail addresses of your instructors, advisors and classmates.
• Send/receive large attachments – HuskyNet e-mail allows you to send
and receive attachments up to 20 megabytes. See huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/
myhuskynet/email for restrictions.

• Log in to your File/Web space at huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/myHuskyNet/
filewebspace
• Open the WebSpace folder
• Edit the contents of the “index.html” file located in your WebSpace folder
• Save your changes to the WebSpace folder when you are finished

for one of the free workshops on Dreamweaver or Web publishing offered
throughout the year, visit huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/help/training.
Informing others about your Web site
The public address for your Web site depends on your HuskyNetID. Your
Web address can be determined by replacing “HuskyNetID” (as shown
below) with your actual HuskyNetID or organization’s HuskyNetID.
• Student Web pages: http://studentweb.stcloudstate.edu/HuskyNetID
• Student organizations: http://studentorg.stcloudstate.edu/HuskyNetID
Your Web site is automatically added to the directory of student Web
sites, which can be accessed from huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/myHuskyNet/

St. Cloud State University recognizes the value
and potential of publishing on the Internet
and encourages students, staff and faculty to
experiment with producing personal Web pages.
However, SCSU does not accept responsibility for
the content of personal Web pages.

standards. The MCAS certification can be used as a way to provide proof
to potential employers of your knowledge and abilities in Microsoft Office
software. The testing center is located in Centennial Hall 366. For more
information, please visit http://huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/help/training/mos.asp or

File storage and read/write media
File/Web space
You can save and upload files to your SCSU File/Web space from any
computer that has access to the Internet, including your home computer. For
more information about how to use your File/Web space, see page 13 or visit
huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/myHuskyNet/filewebspace.
USB and flash drives
All computers in the General Access labs include a labeled USB extension
cable for connecting USB drives (also known as memory sticks or flash
drives). This cable provides you with easy access to the USB port. Look for
the cable, not the port.
CD and DVD drives
You may write to or “burn” CDs and DVDs on computers in all of the General
Access labs (page 22). For assistance, contact a lab consultant (page 6).
Other read/write media
Memory card readers, zip disk drives and other media reading devices are
available for checkout – for General Access lab use only – from the lab
consultant service desks on campus (page 6). Memory card readers are also
available from the Circulation Desk (page 7) for a 3-day loan period. File
storage accessories and media reading devices can also be purchased at the
SCSU Computer Store (page 6) during business hours, located in MC B42.
Printing
SCSU uses a printing system called HuskyPrint that allows students to use
their Campus Card to print documents on campus printers. Each semester, the
Student Technology Fee account deposits $8 into a separate account on your
Campus Card for printing. If you spend the $8 (approximately 200 pages), any
additional print costs are deducted from your Campus Cash funds. Print fund
balances do not carry forward to the next semester. Most SCSU computer labs
are equipped with black-and-white laser printers. Color printers are available
in the Miller Center and the Kiehle Visual Arts Center.
NOTE: Printing instructions are posted near each printer. Two-sided (duplex)
printing is now the default setting in most General Access labs on campus.

St. Cloud State University has security measures in place for campus computers, but not all
unwanted activity can be stopped. We encourage you to protect your computer system and
files, and we have provided the following tips and resources to help you do so.
Protect your password
Update software
Installing all available system and software updates will help keep your
computer safe. If you are a Windows user, you can configure your computer
to automatically download and install updates by going to the Automatic
Updates Control Panel. If you are a Macintosh user, you can configure the
System Update located within System Preferences to download important
updates on a regular basis.

protection against the latest threats. Please
note that even the best antivirus software will
not protect you against all viruses. Practicing safe computing habits will help
you avoid viruses that antivirus software is unable to prevent.
Online
Learning
Remember that changing your password
can be as simple as taking a word –
eight letters or more – capitalizing the
first letter of that word and changing one
of the letters to a symbol.
Install antivirus software
Library
• Use intentionally misspelled words
(e.g. “Braekfast23”)
• Include a punctuation mark in the
middle of a word (e.g. “Wea!ther”)
• Use numbers or punctuation instead of
letters to encrypt your password (e.g.
“Un1versity” or “Univer$ity”)
• Use a song title or phrase to create a
password (e.g. “Twinkle Twinkle Little
Star” could be come “TwTwLiSt!!”)
Safe
Computing
Creating secure,
easy-to-remember
passwords
Computing
TIP
A secure password should include:
• At least eight characters
• At least three different types of characters (e.g. upper and lower case
letters, numbers, special characters)
• No recognizable dictionary word
Never give your password to friends, roommates or anyone else. Remember that
you are responsible for activity that occurs under IDs registered to you, so it is in
your best interest to choose a unique password and keep it private.
Getting
Connected
Since passwords provide access to your personal information, you should
always make them difficult to guess. Changing your passwords frequently
will also help protect you from identity theft and unauthorized access to your
personal information. Note that Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
system (MnSCU) requires that all SCSU passwords meet or exceed certain
criteria. For specifics, see “Password Requirements” on page 10.

Firewall filtering
Firewalls protect your computer by filtering the incoming network traffic and
can prevent certain types of viruses and malicious network activity. Most
newer operating systems such as Windows XP and newer and Mac OX 10.4
and newer have built-in firewalls, but they may need to be activated. Contact
the HelpDesk (page 5) for assistance.
Create backups
Hard drives and other storage devices occasionally go bad. By backing up
your files often, you can minimize your potential for loss. We recommend
that you back up and save your files frequently. You can back up your data
by saving to a flash drive or memory stick (for short-term, working backups),
writable CD/DVD or external hard drive (for long-term backups) or your
HuskyNet File/Web space. Online backup services are also available.
Dispose of information securely
When discarding CD-ROMs, DVDs, hard drives and other storage devices,
you should dispose of them safely to ensure that your information remains
secure. You may bring CD-ROMs, DVDs, USB drives and paper documents
to the HelpDesk (MC B43), and they will place them in a secure drop box
for disposal. If you have a computer or hard drive that you are getting rid
of, please be sure that you use a secure method to wipe clean the hard drive
before it leaves your possession. The HelpDesk (page 5) can provide you additional information about information disposal.
Threat awareness
Spam
SCSU provides protection from unsolicited e-mail, also known as spam and
junk e-mail. Unwanted e-mail uses your allotted storage space quota. You
can work with HuskyNet staff to reduce the amount of spam you receive.
Remember that e-mail sent from a mailing list to which you have subscribed
is not spam. For more information on spam, best practices for dealing with it
and other related resources, go to huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/protectu/spam.
Phishing
Phishing – a form of spam – is a prevalent online criminal activity involving
fraudulent e-mail messages sent in an attempt to obtain your personal data
such as credit card and banking information. These e-mails are usually
written under the guise of “protecting” you by asking for “confirmation” or
“verification” of personal and/or account information. However, please note
that legitimate businesses will never ask you for
personal or financial data via e-mail. For more
SCSU will never ask
information on phishing and how to protect
for your password
yourself from it, visit huskynet.stcloudstate.edu/
via
e-mail or phone

26
Protecting yourself from spam
and phishing
• Don’t make it easy for spammers to get your
SCSU e-mail address by giving it out.
• When possible, don’t open suspected spam.
• Never respond to suspicious e-mails, especially
those requesting your private information.
• Don’t click on links within the suspicious
e-mail. Instead, type the Web address directly
into your Web browser to check its legitimacy.
• Don’t use phone numbers in suspicious e-mails.
• Report spam by following the SCSU
spam reporting instructions at huskynet.
stcloudstate.edu/protectu/spam
NOTE: SCSU will never ask you for your
password via e-mail!
Use of St. Cloud State University (SCSU) resources for unauthorized
distribution of copyrighted materials is forbidden. SCSU prohibits illegal
copyright infringement through its acceptable use policies as well as student
conduct code. Disciplinary action, including loss of use of the university

Viruses and malware often spread through online chat/instant messaging
communications. These messages may appear to be from a friend, family

download and install malware on your computer. Unless you were expecting
the message or are absolutely sure of its legitimacy, do not click on these links
until you verify them with the apparent sender.
Reporting technology theft, abuse and threats
Theft
If a technology (i.e. laptop) theft occurs on campus, contact Public Safety at
(320) 308-3333. They will help you file an SCSU report, contact the campus
IT Security Coordinator and file a report with the St. Cloud police. If you have
insurance, it is recommended that you also contact your agent to determine if
your stolen item is insured for theft.
Abuse and threats
If someone is sending threatening e-mail to you, do not engage the individual
in written or verbal conversation. Write to or tell the person to discontinue
the activity. If the person will not stop sending harassing messages or if
the threat becomes serious, contact the SCSU IT Security Coordinator at
itsecurity@stcloudstate.edu or (320) 308-3091. If you feel the threat is immediate
or life-threatening, contact Public Safety (320) 308-3333 or your local police.

When you need a book, journal article or item that is not available at the
Miller Center, you can use interlibrary loan. This service helps you get
copies of articles and books from other libraries. The interlibrary loan
service is available to SCSU students, faculty and staff at no charge.
Request process:
• Fill out a request form at lrts.stcloudstate.edu/library/services/illrequest.asp.
• Wait 2-10 days for delivery.
• Notification will be e-mailed to you when your item is available.
• Pick up your item at the Circulation Desk (page 7) or online at the link
provided.

Retrieving electronic
interlibrary loan articles:
• If electronic delivery is available for an
article, it will be sent directly to your
HuskyNet e-mail account. You will receive
an e-mail containing a Web address and a
personal identification number (PIN).
• Point your browser to the Web address
provided in the e-mail and follow the
directions on how to retrieve your article.
Reserves and e-reserves
Faculty often put course materials on reserve in the library for ease of use and
availability. The library offers the convenience of both print and electronic
reserves. Note that not all reserves are available both ways.
• Print reserves: These are available for checkout from the Circulation
Desk. You will need to know the instructor and course name. You may
need to specify the name of the document in case the instructor has more
than one item on reserve.
• Electronic reserves: You can access e-reserve items online. Go to
lrts.stcloudstate.edu/library/services/courseReserves.asp and log in using your
HuskyNetID and password (page 3). You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader
and/or Windows Media Player to use most e-reserve files.
Ask a Librarian
If you ever feel frustrated or confused about using

STUDENT
INVOLVEMENT
In order to make technology at St. Cloud State University work for students, the university
provides several chances for students to be involved in technology decisions. In this section, you
will find three of those opportunities described.
Student Technology Fee Committee
The Student Technology Fee Committee works with SCSU administrators to
determine how the technology fee funds are used. The committee also makes
recommendations to the Fee Allocation Committee for adjusting the cost of the
fee. There are seven voting members (five students and two administrators),
and a Learning Resources & Technology Services staff member who serves
as an ex-officio committee member. The Student Government president
appoints voting student members. For member consideration, contact the
Student Government president at (320) 308-3751 or sga-pres@stcloudstate.edu.
If you have general questions or suggestions, please contact Mark Kotcho,
ex-officio, at (320) 308-2053 or makotcho@stcloudstate.edu.
Student Technology Fee
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities sets standard guidelines for the use of
technology fees for all of its schools (www.mnscu.edu/board/procedure/511p1.html).
MnSCU standards:
• Colleges and universities may establish a policy to charge a fee to students for
the acquisition, upgrading and/or maintenance of technology for academic and
student support activities that provide/enhance student access to technology.
• A technology fee advisory committee shall exist for each university. A majority
of the members shall be students, and the campus student association(s) shall
appoint the student members of this committee. Before making recommendations to the university president, the committee will present the recommendations to the campus student association(s) for advice and recommendation.
• The campus student association(s) and the institution president/designee
shall jointly determine a schedule for the technology fee advisory committee to ensure the plan and budget for the fee will be completed for action in
spring. The necessary background materials shall be provided in advance
to the committee in accordance with Procedure 2.3.1, part 2, subpart B.
• The university president has final authority regarding expenditure of funds
received from the technology fee. The president shall review any modifications to the recommendation with the campus student association(s) and the
technology fee advisory committee prior to the implementation for that year.
St. Cloud State University’s Student Technology Fee is approved at $4.75 per
semester credit and typically generates at least $1.5 million each year.
36
Student Technology Fee funds:
• More than 400 General Access computers
• Network support services for computers,
printers and servers
• Furniture for General Access labs
• Software in General Access labs
• Student lab consultants
• Computer technicians
• Equipment maintenance and printer supplies
• Printers (more than 65 locations)
Committee responsibilities
include:
• Recommending an annual budget to Student
Government and the SCSU administration
• Reviewing the facilities and services that are
provided by the Technology Fee
• Discussing new ways of supporting student
access to technology
