Activate Electronic ID
Regardless if you are planning to take the math placement test, ALL students should activate their Electronic ID.
Activating your Electronic ID grants you access to:
- Blackboard
- On-campus computer clusters
- NDSU email account
- NDSU library
Part A: Activate Your Electronic ID
Step 1: Complete the Web enrollment form.
1. Log on to: http://enroll.nodak.edu
2. Read. Click "Continue."
3. Enter your last name and Emplid under the "I don't know my
electronic ID or password" section. Your Emplid is your Campus
Connection ID number without the "W". This ID number was
included in your acceptance letter from the University. If you
do not know this number, please go to Campus Connection and
click on "What is My User ID?"
4. Enter your default password. Your initial password will be in the following format: XxxSSYYYY
Xxx - first three letters of your birth month (First letter
is capitalized)
SS - middle two numbers of your Social Security number
YYYY - your birth year
If you encounter difficulties with your default password,
please contact the NDSU Help Desk at (701) 231-8685.
The instructions will ask you to select your
primary institution. Your previous NDUS institution and NDSU
will be listed. Leave this on the default option, most likely
your previous school.
Your email address will automatically transfer shortly after the
semester begins and you have registered for classes.
Step 2: Take the Acceptable Use Quiz
Step 3: Following the quiz, change your password
Step 4: Set up password recovery
1. Choose a question/answer that can be used to change your password.
Please allow one business day to process your account before proceeding to Part B.
Once your account has been activated, you'll need the electronic ID and password you just created in order to log into Blackboard to take the math placement test.
Please continue to part B for
instructions on how to log in to Blackboard to take the Math
Placement Test.
