“The SMSU RN to BSN Program does not have you take a set amount of credits each semester. This flexible scheduling was perfect for me as it allowed me to vary the amount of credits I took each semester. I would have struggled without that flexibility as I am a non-traditional student who is also a wife, mother of four, and worked full time while completing my degree. This program is designed to fit into your life, whether you want to be a full-time or part-time student.”

Student Assistance

Information for Students

The information contained under the tabs to the left under the Student Assistance heading provides students with a wide range of information regarding information technology resources available at SMSU. ITS strives to update this information on an ongoing basis as changes are implemented with our various services. Examples include information regarding usernames & passwords, accessing the campus network, campus computer labs, recommendations on student owned computers, student e-mail and printing.

Students Pc Use

It is critical for effective use of technology resources at SMSU to become familiar with the concepts of StarID and TechID (MustangID). Information on those terms is provided below. Also, information is provided for students on steps to pursue should you have a name change.                                                               

Star ID

Your StarID gives you access to all of these features and more:

  • Campus computers, printers and scanners
  • Online access to your courses schedule
  • Your SMSU e-mail account
  • A wireless network that covers every building on campus
  • Online courses through D2L Brightspace
  • Software downloads that offered for current students

Many of these features are accessible off campus through the SMSU website.

SMSU also provides support to help you make the most of our technology.
