Important First Steps: Login to Your PAWS Student Portal and Email

Congratulations on enrolling at CSU Pueblo! The first step you will need to take as a student is to gain access to the following:

Step 1 - Obtain Accounts

  •  

    Activate Your Net ID

    Your NetID is your student number and your login for nearly all your CSU Pueblo account.  It is a nine-digit number with a capital C at the start, e.g., C123456789.  Activate your NetID using the instructions below, in which you will set your password that you will use throughout your time at CSU Pueblo.  This is the most important first step so that you can get your student email, register for courses, access your student PAWS portal, and more.  If you have questions, please call 719-549-2002 or email info@csupueblo.edu

    Click the link on your acceptance letter to activate your NetID
    • Enter the NetID assigned to you in your acceptance letter. 
    • Enter activation email address (the same email address you listed on your application).
    • Check the “I’m not a robot” box.
    • Click Send.

    You will receive a Net ID activation email to the email address you entered above.  Open the email and click NetID activation link.  A second page will open in your browser to complete activation:   

    • Re-enter your NetID and click Continue.
    • If you are affiliated with more than one Colorado State University campus, an additional page may appear that shows an email domain for both CSU Ft. Collins and CSU Pueblo. Select csupueblo.edu for CSU Pueblo.
    • Enter a preferred first name.
    • Select a first name for your CSU email alias.
    • Enter a non-CSU email address to use for password recovery.
    • Create a NetID password.
    • Review the Acceptable Use Policy.
    • Click Activate.

    Your NetID will be activated, and a confirmation email will be sent to the above-listed email address.  Wait 24 hours before proceeding to Step 2.

  •  

    Activate Your Student Email Account

    • Go to the Microsoft 365 page on CSU Pueblo website
    • Log into Outlook by clicking the MICROSOFT 365 LOGIN button. Your username is NetID@colostate.edu (Example:  C12345678@colostate.edu).  Please note, this is a username ONLY and is NOT your student email address.
