Activating a myNMSU account

  1. Go to myNMSU.
  2. Enter your Username and Password then click Continue. If you do not have a Password yet, use your six-digit numeric PIN. If you have a password but have forgotten it, call the ICT Customer Service Center at (575) 646-1840 or send an email to help@nmsu.edu.
  3. If required, set a secret question and answer.
  4. Set a new password. You will use this password for myNMSU, Blackboard and other online services.

Accessing your NMSU email account

  1. Go to myNMSU.
  2. Log in using your Username and Password
  3. On your myNMSU homepage you will find your email inbox.

Effective March 15, 2007 all official NMSU email will be sent to your @nmsu.edu email address. This step has been taken to reduce communication gaps between faculty, students and employees, and to reduce the number of bounced emails.

This change means your @nmsu.edu account will be the primary email address for official communications. Any other email addresses that you provide will become secondary.

You have the option of forwarding e-mail from the @nmsu.edu account to a different account by using the auto-forward setting found in myNMSU. See the ICT tipsheet on forwarding your email for more information.
