Students, faculty, and staff receive internet access and email services. Establishing an account with the University's Information Technology is required to use these privileges. Registered users automatically receive a username and password, which includes a University-specific email address.
All email addresses should be evaluated for case sensitivity and spelling. Email addresses consist of a login name followed by the @ sign and the domain name. There is no limit on the domain name.
University email correspondence will be sent only to University-assigned email addresses. The KSU email address will be marked as primary. The preferred indicator must be checked to indicate the preferred email address; otherwise, it may be omitted from selection.
Examples:
Dates are entered on various screens for different purposes. The University prints dates in the format dd-mmm-yyyy. Dates may be entered in any format and will be re-displayed in the dd-mmm-yyyy format.
Examples:
A gender code is required for all university employees and students. The U.S. Department of Education and the Kentucky Council of Postsecondary Education require the University to report gender information.
If students do not provide an SSN, it may be extracted from various tapes, such as ACT test scores or Financial Aid loads. Enter the full nine-digit number, omitting dashes and spaces (e.g., 555491133).
All SSNs downloaded through the ISIR must be compared to those in the University's records. Discrepancies must be resolved before the student receives financial aid.
