Identity Services

Identity Services (ID Services) operates out of the MSU ID Office to manage Spartan Cards (physical credential) and NetIDs (online credential) for MSU students, faculty, staff, and affiliated persons. In addition, our team troubleshoots issues with Spartan Cards and MSU NetIDs and sells student CATA bus passes, Spartan Cash, and dining plans.
