Student Email

The Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (ConnSCU) issues all new community college students an email account upon acceptance. Official college communications from administrative and academic offices, faculty and staff will come to students only via this new school email address. The email account will be yours for life.

This will be the ONLY email the college and your instructors will use to communicate with you.

Office365 available for free to students!

Logging into my.ctstate.edu for the first time and changing your password:

If you’ve never logged into my.commnet.edu, you will need to do so and change your password BEFORE you can login to your student email. Here are the steps to do that:

  1. Go to my.ctstate.edu
  2. Enter your NetID into the box (your NetID is the same as the ID in step 2 above)

NOTE: If you don’t know your NetID, use the “Forgot NetID” tool underneath the ID and password. Your password is the first three letters of your birth month with the first letter capitalized (ex. Mar), the & sign, and the last four numbers of your social security number. An example password would be Jan&1234.

  1. When you login, a box will pop up prompting you to change your password (this is the password you will use to login to my.commnet.edu and your email from now on)
