Your primary e-mail address at K-State!

Your K-State eID is part of your e-mail address (eID@k-state.edu) and is the key to your e-mailbox, disk space, and a personal webpage.   The university sends important notices to your central e-mail address, including deadlines, financial-aid data, and official memos.  

As a new student, you should register and select your eID and password, and set your e-mail options. For details about your eID and what it provides, see www.k-state.edu/computingID.


1. Register and select your eID

Go to the eid.k-state.edu webpage and select the Register button to select your eID. Be sure to complete all 6 steps and select the Confirm button at the end.

2. Set your e-mail options

If you read your e-mail elsewhere, you can forward your @k-state.edu e-mail to another address by changing your eProfile settings at eid.k-state.edu.

3. Check your directory information

Your @k-state.edu e-mail address is published in the K-State People Directory (previously called the White Pages) at www.k-state.edu/Directories/wp. After the first two weeks of the fall semester, it's also put in the paper Campus Phone Book.

To have your e-mail address and other data unlisted in the online People Directory, take your photo ID and visit the InfoTech Help Desk, 313 Hale Library (Manhattan campus) or the Office of Information Systems, 184 Technology Center (Salina campus).
