Tech Tips for Student Success

Here’s a few tips to get you started.


MUNet ID

A MUNet ID is simply our term for your username at Marshall.
Why do I need a MUNet ID?

  • You will need MUNet ID during your transition to Marshall and to function as a student.
  • When you become a Marshall student, your MUNet ID will be assigned.  This will also be your username for your Marshall email.
  • A MUNet ID is the only way to gain access to myMU, your personal portal to Marshall resources including registering for classes, viewing financial aid status, checking email, accessing online course content, and much more.

Plan for Emergencies

Marshall University Emergency Messaging System (MU Alert) is one of several elements of the Marshall University Emergency Notification System. The MU Alert system allows Marshall University to quickly communicate health and safety-related emergency information through a combination of various communication methods. In the event that information needs to be communicated to students and staff immediately, Marshall University will use several information delivery methods to make sure the pertinent information reaches you.
MU Alert will be used solely for the purpose of alerting the Marshall University community in an emergency. These emergency notices can be delivered via phone calls, text messages to mobile devices, and e-mail. All students, faculty, and staff can manage their own contact information and choose the contact methods that they prefer.
